Running for Office is one of the best contributions you can make to our community
Many of us are still recovering from our hard work in the 2022 midterms, but the 2023 election is right around the corner and we want to help you run for office. The 2023 non-partisan ballot will have a vital Wisconsin State Supreme Court Race, but just as important are the many local, non-partisan seats up for election, including seats on the city councils and school boards of La Crosse, Onalaska, Holmen and more.
Visit the website of your city and school board clerks for more information on elections in your area.
The first steps are filing
1) a Registration Statement
2) A Declaration of Candidacy and
3) Nomination papers to the city or school board clerk who controls the election for the seat you desire.
These forms can be found here.
Below is a timeline of important dates in the election cycle.
December 1: You may start circulating nomination forms. Depending on the office you desire, you may need to collect from 100-400 signatures.
January 3: All completed nomination forms must be turned in to the clerk who controls your election by Tuesday, January 3, 5pm.
February 21, 2023: Primary election (if more than two candidates apply to run for a seat).
April 4, 2023: Election Day
We hope you will consider running for public office. It is a wonderful gift to your community.
