Secretary of State Websites for Local Election Candidates

If you’re going to be a candidate running a political campaign for office in a local election, then one of the most important places for you to visit online is your Secretary of State’s website. In most cases, the Secretary of State is the elected state official whose office is in charge of all election issues in your particular state. Political campaign law and election ethics, finance reporting requirements, election forms and documents, candidate registration, voter registration, poll location information . . . all of these and more can usually be found on the web on Secretary of State websites.

Since every local election candidate should at least take a quick look at their respective Secretary of State site and be familiar with the way it organizes resources and information, Killer Campaigning is listing those websites for each one of the fifty states in this post. If you have a spare second, click on your state’s Secretary of State site and bookmark it for future use. In my own political campaigns, I always need to visit the Secretary of State website at least once or twice every season to download a PDF document or get voting information.

And remember: the Secretary of State website isn’t just valuable to you in the weeks leading up to the election. On election night, many Secretary of State sites also publish current voting results for races in your state, so it’s also a great place to go and track results on the big day.
