These papers typically include details about the candidate, like their name and the position they seek, as well as signatures from supporters endorsing their candidacy. The purpose of nomination papers is to verify that a candidate has enough backing to be on the ballot. Each jurisdiction may have specific rules regarding the number of required signatures and the submission process. Successfully filing these papers is a critical step for candidates in the electoral process.
