Can a person withdraw their petitions and then run for a different office?
o A person cannot withdraw their petitions, but they can withdraw their candidacy for an office. They can run for another office only if a person “timely withdraws” his or her candidacy. This means the prospective candidate must withdraw his or her candidacy prior to the relevant filing deadline or before the county board of elections acts to disqualify the person’s candidacy in order to re-file as a candidate for the same office or any other office.
