 About this list

The above list includes only those persons who have filed affidavits of candidacy with the Secretary of State and who will appear on the June 8 primary ballot. Other persons may consider themselves candidates and may in the future file affidavits of candidacy for the November 2 general election ballot, but only the two official political parties will participate in the June 8 primary.

The filing period for the November 2 general election for candidates not representing the two official parties is July 26-August 13 for presidential, congressional, and legislative candidates.  Ballot Access and Candidate Qualifications  The political parties may also nominate federal or legislative candidates by convention to fill ballot vacancies through August 13 (August 25 for county offices).

The website Politics1.com lists U.S. Senate and House candidates not representing the two official parties who may file for the general election.

Upon filing nomination papers, all candidates complete an affidavit of candidacy form.  This includes a space for the candidate's phone number with the notation "Optional, will be published."  If no phone number is listed for a candidate on this web site, the candidate left the phone number space blank on the affidavit of candidacy.

The affidavit of candidacy form also includes a space for the candidate to list an e-mail address.  To e-mail a candidate, replace the italic AT in the address with the @ sign.  (The @ has been replaced with AT on this web site to block address harvesting software used by spammers.)

If no e-mail address is listed for a candidate, the candidate left the e-mail address space blank on the affidavit of candidacy.

County candidates representing the Democratic and Republican parties may file with the Auditor's Office from March 8 - 31.   Other county candidates may file for the November 2 general election between August 2 - 25.  Before August 2, the Johnson County Auditor's Office will accept a notice of intent to declare candidacy from candidates for county and township office only who do not represent the two official parties.
