Assistant Registrar of Voters
Elections Code § 13307(b)(1) states that "The statement of each candidate shall be printed in type of
uniform size and darkness, and with uniform spacing." The Registrar of Voters and County Counsel have
interpreted this code to prohibit bold font only in candidate statement formatting. Therefore, the Registrar
of Voters will permit italics, underlining, bullets, capitalized words, etc. As your city's election official for
municipal elections, you may desire to implement a more stringent interpretation for your candidates.
City Clerks will be responsible for enforcing formatting requirements that exceed those acceptable by the
County. It is suggested that you make candidates aware of any formatting restrictions as soon as possible.
The City Clerk has final sign -off and approval of candidate statements for elected city offices. Candidate
statements may be submitted to the Registrar of Voters for typesetting in accordance with the city's
formatting requirements; or, formatting corrections may be applied to the typeset statement transmitted to
the City Clerk by the Registrar of Voters for sign -off.
The Registrar of Voters would like to have each city's candidate statement formatting requirements on file.
Please indicate below which formatting options will be permitted for your city's candidate statements.
