The Newport Democratic City Committee invites declared candidates and all registered Newport voters to a signature-gathering event on July 8 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at the Newport Elks Lodge.
Candidates for federal, statewide, and local public office must collect signatures from registered voters in their district to be placed on the ballot. The number of required signatures varies depending on the office being sought.
“The NDCC applauds those candidates who step up to serve their community. We honor the political process in which collecting signatures is a long-standing tradition showing support from the community for those who seek to represent us, and we’re excited to host this event. We encourage all Newport voters to come meet the candidates and join this celebration of our political process.” said Susan Taylor, NDCC Chair
No restriction exists on the number of nomination papers a person can sign. Signing a nomination paper is not a commitment to vote for that candidate. Your signature will only be counted once for each candidate
