Qualifications and Filing Documents for Candidacy Memo
The City requires only the SEL 101 form for candidacy filing, unless the individual would like to file by petition, rather than by fee ($26.25, slightly higher if paid by debit/credit due to merchant processing fee). By petition, the individual would complete SEL 121 in addition to the SEL 101.
A fully completed SEL 101 is submitted to the County for verification of the requirements to file for candidacy within the City of Coos Bay: registered voter and resident of the City of Coos Bay in the last year from date of filing. Once confirmed by the County, the individual is added to the candidacy list, which will be submitted to the County after closing, set for August 25, 2020.
Attached are the SEL 101/SEL 121 forms and a short memo we provide to candidates. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Nichole Rutherford
