Dayton City Council Candidate Requirements:
Candidates must be registered voters in the state of Oregon, and have lived in the City of Dayton for one year immediately preceding the election.
Forms are available from the Secretary of State website. The local elections official must verify candidates, and approve petition nominating signature sheets in writing. Failure to do so before beginning circulation will result in rejection of the signature sheets. All information is public record and can be requested by the public through the Oregon Public Records and Meetings Law.
It is your responsibility to ensure your candidate paperwork is complete and submitted on time. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, an appointment must be made in advance of filing paperwork with the City Recorder.
