HELENA - Candidates for state office can begin filing with the Secretary of State’s office Jan. 22.

The filing period runs through March 20.

This year, certain candidates will be able to file on the Secretary of State’s Web site, http://sos.mt.gov/. Secretary of State Brad Johnson says online filing will make it easier and less expensive for Montanans to engage in public service.

Candidates for state office must file their declarations of candidacy with the Secretary of State’s office. Candidates for county offices file with their county election administrator.

The only statewide candidates not eligible for online filing are presidential, write-in and indigent candidates, and those not affiliated with a political party.
