QUALIFYING INFORMATION

In order to begin your campaign, you must first appoint your campaign treasurer and designate your campaign depository. These two steps must be taken before you can open your campaign account, receive contributions or make expenditures. The original appointment form (DS-DE 9), along with the Statement of Candidate
(DS-DE 84) must be filed with the Rockledge City Clerk’s Office. These two forms are the only two required to be filed prior to qualifying. Once you establish your account, you must begin filing quarterly campaign treasurer’s reports.

You are required to read Chapter 106 of the Florida Statutes before you sign the Statement of Candidate. You can link to that site by visiting the Brevard County Supervisor of Elections website at www.brevardelections.org – click on Links, then under State of Florida Sites, click on Florida Statutes.

If you have any questions concerning your intent to qualify, please do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail at cityclerk@cityofrockledge.org or call me at 690-3978 during business hours.
