The League of Women Voters of Marquette County: Write-in Candidate Policy
The LWV of Marquette County adopts the following policy regarding write-in candidates in connection with our on-line and printed voter services guide and candidate forums:
Any write-in candidate for any primary or general election race who has been verified as qualified by the appropriate clerk and who wishes to participate in Vote411.org, a printed voter guide, and/or a candidate forum sponsored by LWV of Marquette County must contact the Voter Services Coordinator for the LWV of Marquette County by the following deadlines:
- For participation in org and the printed voter guide, no later than four weeks prior to the election; for participation in a LWV-sponsored candidate forum, no later than four weeks prior to the date of the candidate forum.
- If a candidate has been included in org or participated in a candidate forum for a primary election, he/she must confirm with the Voter Services Coordinator that he/she wishes to be a write-in candidate for the general election and wishes to be included in Vote411, the printed voter guide, and/or a subsequent candidate forum at least four weeks prior to the general election or subsequent candidate forum.
Write-in candidates’ names will be identified as “Write-In” and listed after any candidates on the ballot for that race.
In addition, the potential write-in candidate must be participating in one or more activities demonstrating their intention to run as a write-in, including, by way of example, making an announcement in or to the media; placing yard signs; campaigning; and/or conducting a social media campaign.
Posting the policy on social media (LWV of Marquette County’s website, Facebook page) will be deemed sufficient notice of these requirements to any prospective qualified write-in candidate.
