Must an elected official running for a different elected position resign from his/her current elected position before he/she can qualify as a candidate?
No elected official may qualify as a candidate for another public officer, whether state, district, county, or municipal, if the terms or any part thereof run concurrently with each other, without resigning from the office he/she presently holds. An elected official must resign at least 10 days before the first day of qualifying to be a candidate. F.S.
