Form DS-DE 9 (PDF), which appoints a campaign treasurer and depository, along with the Statement of Candidate DS-DE 84 (PDF), must be filed with the Plantation City Clerk’s Office. These two forms are the only two forms required to be filed prior to qualifying. Once you establish your account, you must begin filing campaign treasurer’s reports.
Please make an appointment with the City Clerk via (954) 797-2237 or via email in order to submit qualifying documents. If you have any questions regarding candidacy and qualifying, please contact us during regular business hours.
