At the time of filing, candidates must sign a Declaration of Candidacy in the presence of the Special Master (not before!) as well as a number of other affirmations:

• Affirmation of Constitutional Qualifications
• Affirmation of No Convictions
• Affirmation of Paid Taxes
• Missouri Ethics Commission Notice to Candidate and Ethics Guide

Candidates must also provide the Special Master with a copy of the Missouri Department of Revenue Form 5120 (the origninal must be notarized and sent to the Missouri Department of Revenue; the copy provided to the Special Master must be a copy of the form with the notarized signature, but the copy does not have to be notarized).

Finally, candidates must pay a $100 filing fee to the District's General Fund as required by RSMo 321.210).
