Candidate Development
Clubs work closely with their community to identify and develop viable candidates for public office. The candidate development pipeline often begins with an appointment to a local board or commission, or election to a special district (water, hospital, planning) or other local board. The Registrar of Voters (ROV), , has a Directory of Public Officials, which includes all local elected officials, their terms of office, and filing requirements. Candidate Support
Clubs can help candidates by circulating nominating petitions, volunteering (precinct walking, phone banks, office work), fundraising, distributing literature, and other means of \ support. If your club seeks to make a financial contribution to a campaign, be sure to research the legal requirements and restrictions that may apply.
Voter Registration
Voter registration is one of a club’s primary year-round activities. One club member should serve as club liaison to work with other Voter Registration Teams and club members to host their club’s booth at appropriate events, fairs, festivals, and other locations. Clubs are asked to assist the team at the monthly swearing-in ceremonies of new citizens in downtown San Diego.
