Where do I file my affidavit of candidacy?
Every candidate must file an affidavit of candidacy. Affidavits for city elections are filed with the City Clerk's Office at Burnsville City Hall and school district offices are filed with the school district. The affidavits for county offices are filed with the Dakota County Treasurer-Auditor. For state offices where the entire district is in Dakota County, the affidavit is filed with the Treasurer-Auditor. For federal and state offices that will be voted on in more than one county, the affidavit is filed with the MN Secretary of State in St. Paul.
