Submitting a notice of intent is one step in the process and does not mean you have been nominated and will appear on the ballot. Once a prospective candidate's notice of intent submission is complete and they are added to the Register of Candidates, they can accept campaign contributions and incur campaign expenses.
To become a nominated candidate and appear on the ballot, a candidate must complete and file nomination papers during the nomination period from Jan. 2 to Sept. 22, 2025.
