Special District Election Forms | Department of Local Affairs

The division of local government created and collected these forms and sample documents as a convenience to special districts to meet their statutory election requirements. These forms were written using relevant statutory citations and secretary of state rules that govern elections and campaign and political finance. Many of the election documents and samples enclosed were created, in part, with assistance from other special district governments. Special districts are not required to use all of these specific forms. However, a district wishing to develop its own documents may want to consult with legal counsel for guidance.
