City Police Chief-Marshal in Gibsland, Bienville Parish, Louisiana

The candidate shall be an elector of the municipality when elected. At the time of qualification, the candidate shall have been domiciled for at least the immediately preceding year in a city or town (6 months in a village)

The candidate can pay qualifying fee or file a nominating petition. If an agent files on a candidate's behalf, the agent shall also file an agent affidavit form attesting that the agent has the authorization and consent to file the notice of candidacy. The candidate can file in person or via mail at the parish office. Candidates may also have to disclose campaign finances with the Louisiana Board of Ethics. Most candidates will be considered "any other office," meaning not considered major or district, i.e., offices elected in a district having a population of 35,000 or less and not elected parish wide. Thus, most municipal candidates will not have to file unless they make expenditures in excess of $2,500, or receive contributions from a single source other than from the candidate's personal funds in excess of $200.

Submit paperwork to the Parish Court Clerk's office.
