How are candidates nominated for the District offices?

Anyone can be nominated for an elected office who fulfills the legal requirements for that office. The potential candidates must be nominated and then the delegates vote for who they wish to be their next Representative or Senator. Any candidate who receives at least 30% of that vote will have their name placed on the Primary Election ballot. Any candidate who does not receive 30% of the vote but receives at least 10% of the vote still has the right to get onto the Primary ballot by Petition. A candidate who does not receive 10% of the vote at the Assembly looses the ability to petition on to the ballot.
