Florida Election Code
Candidates, Political Committees and Political Party Executive Committees are required to submit regular financial reports, following the deadlines specified by the Florida Division of Elections:
Local candidates, please make sure to review the Online Financial Report Manual. All reports filed with our office must be submitted electronically. Our filing system allows you to enter information without using any additional software. However, you may click here to see a list of approved software vendors that are compatible with our electronic filing system.
For information on how to qualify by petition, click here.
If you would like to designate poll watchers for an election, you must complete the Poll Watcher Designation Form (DS-DE 125) and return it via email (to ewhite@votehillsborough.gov), mail or in person, so that it is in our office by the deadline.
All poll watchers should review our Poll Watcher Guidelines before arriving at a voting location.
Make sure to share voter registration deadlines and election dates with your prospective constituents! Find that information here.
For information regarding where campaign signs can be posted in Hillsborough County and the three municipalities, please reference the Campaign Signs Information Sheet. Important note: the law requires anyone who is going to dig (break ground) to first call Sunshine 811. Click here for more details and information regarding sign installation.
