What do I need before I can use your tools? Do I need to file anything officially?

No official filing is required to get started.

You can sign up for a free candidate account, take the pledge, and start exploring tools, even if you haven’t filed to run yet.

In fact, many people use GoodParty.org to figure out if they should run. Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll help you navigate things like filing deadlines, ballot access, and building your campaign plan.

In short: No paperwork or EIN needed, just purpose and a drive to step up for your community.
