You may have your name placed on the general election ballot as an independent candidate if you are not affiliated with a political party. If you vote in a party’s primary elections or participate in a party’s conventions, you thereby affiliate with the party. You must file a Declaration of Intent to Run as an Independent Candidate with the county judge.
After the primary elections (or after the primary runoff election if the office you are seeking is involved in a primary runoff election), you must then collect signatures from registered voters who support your application for a place on the general election ballot. The signers must be registered voters who have not participated in the general primary election or the runoff primary election of a party that has nominated, at either election, a candidate for the office you seek. File the application, along with petition, with the county judge.
Applications and petition forms may be downloaded from the Texas Secretary of State.
To become a write-in candidate in the general election, you must file a Declaration of Write-in Candidacy with the county judge. The declaration must be accompanied by either a filing fee, or a nominating petition signed by the required number of qualified voters. Applications and petition forms may be downloaded from the Texas Secretary of State.
Before becoming a candidate, you are urged to contact the Texas Ethics Commission for information on campaign contribution reports, the appointment of a campaign treasurer, and personal financial statements that you may be required to file. The Commission may be reached at the following address:
Texas Ethics Commission
