It is important that candidates familiarize themselves with when and how the municipal electoral commissions accept submissions in the municipality where they intend to run.

Documents that must accompany a candidacy:

• Notification of candidacy, containing information on the name of the political organization and its list letter, in accordance with the register of the Ministry of Justice.

  • If a political organization does not have an assigned list letter, it must request one from the municipal electoral commission.

• Information on the two individuals who serve as the list’s representatives, along with their written consent.

  • A template for the notification and for designating the representatives will be made available shortly.

• The candidate list, accompanied by the signed consent of all candidates confirming their willingness to stand for election.

  • A template for electronic signature of the candidate list will be made available shortly.

  • A template for submitting the candidate list on paper will also be made available shortly.

• A declaration of support for the list from voters in the municipality - endorsements.

  • In many municipalities, it will be possible to collect endorsements electronically.

  • A report can be generated from the endorsement system and submitted with the candidacy, or it may be indicated that endorsements were collected electronically.

  • If endorsements are collected on paper, the original documents must be submitted to the municipal electoral commission.

    • Candidates are encouraged to number each page and enter the supporters’ ID numbers into the electronic endorsement system, where applicable, to facilitate review.
