Local Candidate Manual
As a prospective candidate for public office, the DeKalb County Election Commission provides each candidate with a manual that will be helpful in meeting the guidelines and requirements of a candidate for public office. The mission of the DeKalb County Election Commission is to serve and assist the voters and candidates for public office in our county and municipalities.
Hopefully, this booklet will answer most, if not all, of your questions concerning qualifications for office, filing your qualifying petition, quarterly financial disclosures, or your Statement of Interest. If you have any additional questions or need additional assistance, please contact our office at (615) 597-4146 and we will gladly serve you. Good luck in your campaign and thank you for your willingness to serve the people of DeKalb County.
