Before campaign season heats up, individuals can learn what is involved in running for public office. The Indian River County Supervisor of Elections is hosting a complimentary, two-hour Candidate Workshop to discuss important information about filing, qualifying, and campaigning for elective office.
The class will be offered on Wednesday, Jan. 15, at the Supervisor of Elections office located at 4375 43rd Ave., Vero Beach.
The workshop is open to candidates, campaign managers, campaign treasurers and members of the public.
“Candidate workshops are open to anyone interested in running for office, whether they are a first-time candidate or a long-standing incumbent. Election laws are constantly changing, and it is imperative that candidates are familiar with any recent legislative changes,” said Leslie Swan, Supervisor of Elections.
The program focuses on the fundamentals of filing to become a candidate and introduces participants to candidate qualifying and reporting, campaign finance, political advertising, and ethical conduct, among other important topics. The workshop is geared toward candidates who qualify with the Indian River County Supervisor of Elections.
Contact the Elections Office at 772-226-3440 no later than Monday, Jan. 13, to reserve your spot for the Candidate Workshop.
