Warren elections PARADE to include several OF TITANS write-in candidates BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com
WARREN — Being a write-in candidate is another path to potential election without being on the ballot or winning the primary. A write-in candidate is a person who seeks nomination to office after the official filing deadline for that office has passed. A write-in candidate’s name will not appear on the ballot. However, once a declaration of intent is filed, a candidate may accumulate valid write-in votes, according to the Warren city clerk’s office.

Become a write-in candidate
In order to become a valid write-in candidate, an individual must file a declaration of intent with the appropriate filling official by 4 p.m. on the second Friday preceding the election. This year, that date is Oct. 27 for the Nov. 7 general election. In the event a candidate appearing on the ballot dies or is disqualified on or after the Wednesday directly preceding the election, the declaration of intent is waived. Under these circumstances, all write-in votes cast will be counted, according to the clerk’s office. Barring the death of a candidate on the ballot, if a voter wants to write-in someone’s name that is not a valid or declared write-in candidate or put a candidate’s name under an office for which they are not running, that vote will not be counted.
