All original nomination documents are due to VRE with original signatures by 5pm on the filing deadline in order for you to qualify as a candidate. Postmarks do not count.
If you do not plan to execute your Declaration of Candidacy in-person, it must be properly notarized by a California Public Notary and received by VRE by the filing deadline (EC
