California- How do I know that my candidate registration and accompanying documents have been received in time for my placement on the ballot?

The Ballot Box provides not one, but two email confirmations to candidates registering with us to run in their community election. The first when we receive the completed application and a second message once we have been notified by the Association that the candidate is eligible to run in the election. It is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure that their Candidate Registration form is received by The Ballot Box by the deadline date noted on the form. If a confirmation is not received from our office that means we did not receive your registration form and you are not a registered candidate.
