Frequently Asked Questions

Why are candidates who dropped out still on my ballot?

Candidates who 'suspend' their campaigns have not formally withdrawn. Because no candidates submitted formal withdrawal paperwork by the December 14, 2015 deadline, all names remain on the ballot.

What is the difference between suspending a campaign and withdrawing?

A formal withdrawal removes a candidate from the ballot. A is not an official withdrawal, and the candidate retains the option to resume their campaign later.
