If an incumbent for any office fails to file between July 15 and Aug. 9, candidate filing will extend for any candidate except the incumbent until Aug. 14 at 5 p.m. (if the filing period is extended, filing services will be available in Rocklin Aug. 12-14 and in Auburn on Aug. 14, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). If an incumbent files their nomination paperwork, the officeholder has termed out, or there is no incumbent due to boundary changes, there will be no extension of candidate filing for that office.

Potential candidates are invited to attend the Placer County Elections Candidate Workshop to review the requirements for running for public office, learn which offices are up for election and the basics of running a political campaign. The workshop will be conducted in person in the training room of the Placer County Elections Office from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 20.
