• An affidavit of Undue Burden form must be filed with the Supervisor of Elections office if the candidate
is unable to pay the fee for verification of petition signatures for that office without imposing an undue
burden on personal resources or on resources otherwise available.
• If an
y person is paid to solicit signatures on a petition, an Affidavit of Undue Burden form may not be
subsequently filed in lieu of paying the fee to have signatures verified for that petition.
• If an Affidavit of Undue Burden form has been filed and payment is subsequently made to any person to
solicit signatures on a petition, this form is no longer valid and a fee for all signatures previously
submitted to the Supervisor of Elections and any that are submitted thereafter shall be paid by the
candidate, person, or organization that submitted the Affidavit of undue burden form.
Petition Method of Collecting signatures
• Any registered voter in Alachua County may sign a petition. The amount of signatures to collect is equal
to 1% of the registered voters in the last General Election (180,938).
For (2020), countywide candidates will need to submit (1,810) valid signatures to qualify by
the Petition Method. Petition requirements for other candidates can be found on the Florida Division of
Elections’ website at www.dos.myflorida.com/elections
• We suggest that candidates turn in the signature petitions to the Supervisor of Elections office on a
weekly basis. Also, plan to collect approximately ten percent more signature petitions than is required to
allow for invalid signatures. The petitions will be verified first come first serve.
• The deadline for Judicial, state attorney and public defender candidates to submit petitions to the
Supervisor of Elections office is by (Noon on March 23, 2020)
• The deadline for Federal, statewide, multi-county, county and district candidates to submit petitions to
the Supervisor of Elections office is by (Noon on May 11, 2020)
• Candidates who fail to qualify by the petition method will be required to pay the qualifying fee for the
office sought in order to obtain ballot position.
• Write-in candidates, other than those running for President or Vice President, qualify during the same
period as regular candidates. There is no qualifying fee for write-in candidates. If someone qualifies for
an office as a write-in candidate their name does not appear on the ballot, but the notation “Write-in” and
a blank line will appear on the General Election ballot beneath all of the other candidates for the office.
Per Florida Statutes, only write-in votes for qualified candidates are counted.
