Wisconsin candidate resources

Pick your county to see what running for office takes.

A plain-language guide to getting on the ballot in every one of Wisconsin's 72 counties. There is no cash filing fee anywhere in the state -- every candidate gets on with nomination papers filed at the county clerk's office. County Board Supervisor is a 2-year nonpartisan seat on the April Spring Election; County Clerk, Treasurer, Sheriff, Register of Deeds and District Attorney are 4-year partisan seats on the November ballot in gubernatorial years. Each guide covers both calendars, the signature counts, and your county clerk's contact card. Click the map or use the list.
