§ 6566 Candidate Nomination Disqualification

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't run for office in more than one group at the same time.
  • •If you try to be in two groups, you can't run at all.
  • •This rule stops people from trying to be in multiple groups to win.

Example

Imagine you want to run for school president and also for class treasurer at the same time.

The law says you can't do that. You have to pick one job to run for. If you try to run for both, you can't run for either.
