Where: 4375 43rd Avenue

Before campaign season heats up, individuals interested in running for public office can learn what it is required to become a candidate. Indian River County Supervisor of Elections is hosting two complimentary, two-hour Candidate Workshops to discuss important information about filing, qualifying and campaigning for elective office. The classes will be offered on Tuesday, November 17, 2015 and again in the New Year on Tuesday, January 19, 2016 from 9-11 a.m. at the Supervisor of Elections office located at 4375 43rd Avenue in Vero Beach.

The workshop is open to candidates, campaign managers, campaign treasurers and members of the public. “Candidate workshops are open to anyone interested in running for office, whether they are a first time candidate or a long-standing incumbent. Election laws are constantly changing, and it is imperative that candidates are familiar with the new legislation,” said Leslie Swan, Supervisor of Elections. The two hour program focuses on the fundamentals of filing to become a candidate and introduces participants to candidate qualifying and reporting, campaign finance, political advertising and ethical conduct, among other important topics.

Interested parties must register for the candidate workshop no later than the Friday before the workshop by emailing [email protected] or by calling (772) 226-3440.
