All You Should Know About Rockland County Executive Democratic Primary

By Maria Moore


Rockland being one of the states in America, it holds its democratic values and participates in the general elections with the other American states. The rules for running for any elective position are stipulated in what is called Running for Office Guidebook. To be able to vie for any elective position you must have enrolled yourself as a member of a party from which you are seeking to be elected. You must also be a member of the state that you are seeking to be elected. If you are to participate in the Rockland county executive democratic primary, you have to be a resident of Rockland County.

The party nominations are supposed to start from the roots of the villages through the party caucus. The election of any politician is expected to begin from the village. Only those who are registered as members of the party are supposed to take part in the nominations.

Under special circumstances, a particular party may wish to nominate a person that is not within the membership realms. At such times they must seek for an authorization certificate. The certificate must be duly signed by the presiding officer and the secretary of the committee that has decided to nominate the candidate. Such a certificate is then filed with the election board.

There are times individuals may decide to vie for the positions without going through a party. If that happens, the independent candidate must not have participated in any political party caucus in the village. Such candidates must be qualified to be voters and then sign an independent nomination petition.

Such private candidates must sign forms giving all their information as per the state law. The information included in the forms is the name of that candidate, the date of the election, the position sought. Other details include the residential address of that candidate, postal address and a team known as the committee to sign the form and have a witness to the signing of the same.

The candidate will be required to submit such forms to the board of elections in person especially the pages containing the signatures. Any other person can submit the remaining part of the data. When submitted in bits, the papers must be filed in sequence and also held together.

All petitions must be filed on time and to the correct board of elections. The papers must be submitted during office hours and in case the last day of submission happens to be a holiday of falls on a Sunday, then the next working day becomes the last submission day.

Transparency in both the political parties as well as private candidates is a requirement by law. All the funds donated to the parties are supposed to be stated as well as the way they were spending during the campaigns. All the information about the code of conduct is available on the county board of elections. Anyone seeking to run for any political position must be willing to adhere to the law whether supported by any political party or whether doing it independently.
