Endorsement Guidelines
Joint County Voters’ Pamphlet Statement of Endorsement Instructions
General Information
Endorsement Options
If the name of a person or organization (other than the person and/or organization submitting the statement), or an
unpublished quote, is used in a submitted Candidate Statement or Measure Argument to endorse or support the
candidate or measure, the filer must submit either a JCVP-02A or JCVP-02B Endorsement form.
JCVP-02A – Determined by the Filer
JCVP-02A allows the filer to determine how the endorser’s name, title, and any other information about the endorser will
appear in the Candidate Statement or Measure Argument. JCVP-02A must be signed by the endorsing person, or by an
endorsing organization’s authorized representative, to provide the filer with the endorser’s consent.
JCVP-02B – Determined by the Endorser
JCVP-02B requires the filer to publish the endorser’s name, title, and any other information about the endorser that
appears in the Candidate Statement or Measurement Argument, exactly as written in the ‘Text for Publication’ box.
JCVP-02B must be signed by the endorsing person, or by an endorsing organization’s authorized representative, to
provide the filer with the endorser’s consent.
Example 1 - JCVP-02A - Determined by the Filer
Example 2 - JCVP-02B - Determined by the Endorser

published to the public prior to its’ inclusion in the JCVP-01 or JCVP-03 and the quotation must be identified in the
JCVP-01 or JCVP-03 by its source and date of publication/dissemination.
