The California Elections Code requires all candidates for public office in California to be registered voters and otherwise qualified to vote for the office they are seeking at the time their nomination papers are issued. The constitutional requirements to be a registered voter are that a person must be a United States citizen, at least 18 years of age, not in prison or on parole for the conviction of a felony and not determined by a court of law to be mentally incompetent.
To qualify for the District Attorney’s race you must also have been admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the State of California.
