What is the deadline for getting a name on the Nov. 2006 ballot?

Does it vary with every state? I am thinking that with the changing fortunes definitely tilting in the Democrats favor we could attract more "talent" to run in races that are increasingly looking better for Democrats in.

1. It does depend on the state or the county or municipality. Call them and

ask.

2. Sec. of State usually has that info.

I had to file about two months before the primary.

3. For what office, if I may ask?

I would guess it was a state office or federal office.

Mayor, county council, etc would probably be through the local county or city cleck.

4. That maybe true for the major elections...Usually

you can look up the state statutes I think.

I ran for a federal office so the rules were different.
