Petition Process

Pick up Nominating Petitions

Pick up nominating petitions at the Elections Office in the Erie County Courthouse. File completed petitions at the office on or before the deadline.

Gather Signatures

Gather signatures on your petition from registered voters of your party who live in the district of the office you are seeking. The number of required signatures varies.

Prepare to Submit Petitions

Always get more than the minimum number of signatures. The person circulating the petition for you will sign it, as will a notary public.
