nomination papers

Bellevue is governed by a five-member Village Board consisting of a Village President and 4 Village Trustees. All positions are elected at-large.  2 Village Trustees are elected in even numbered years, with the other 2 elected in odd numbered years. The Trustee role has a fixed annual salary of $6,190. Collectively, the board has management and control of Village property, finances, streets, utilities, and public service. 

In order for a candidate's name to be placed on the ballot, a candidate must file a Campaign Registration Statement (CF-1), a Declaration of Candidacy (EL-162), and Nomination Papers (EL-169).

This checklist is for Municipal Candidates (e.g. Bellevue Trustee) where Nomination Papers are Used.

This form must be filed with the Bellevue Clerk’s Office as soon as you decide to become a candidate for office and before any funds are collected or spent. 

This form must be filed with the Bellevue Clerk no later than the deadline for filing nomination papers or the candidate's name will not appear on the ballot. This form must be sworn to and signed in the presence of notary or person authorized to administer oaths.

Nomination papers may be circulated any time after December 1, 2021.  You will be required to obtain a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 100 signatures for each office pursued. 

Candidate forms may be obtained from the Bellevue Village Clerk, at the Bellevue Village Offices, located at 2828 Allouez Avenue, or found at https://elections.wi.gov/forms.  To request a candidate packet from the Bellevue Village Clerk, contact Karen Simons at (920) 593-5511 or karens@villageofbellevue.org
