Who this template is for

Election Candidate Nomination Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in awards, contests & voting.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 17 questions across 3 screens.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 14 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Do you currently hold another committee post?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Which post do you hold?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Do you have any interest to declare to members?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Describe the interest”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Are you attaching a photograph for the notice board?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Candidate photograph”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Do you have any interest to declare to members?” is Yes, “Describe the interest” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form

Do we need a proposer and a seconder?

Most constitutions require both, so the form asks for both with membership numbers. Remove one field if your rules differ.

How long should a manifesto statement be?

Set one limit and apply it to everyone — 150 words is common and keeps the ballot pack readable.

Can somebody stand for two posts?

If your rules allow it, they submit twice. The 'another post' question flags the overlap for the returning officer either way.

What counts as a disqualifying circumstance?

Your constitution defines it; the form asks the question and records the answer, which is what a later challenge needs.

Yes. You can preview and test Election Candidate Nomination Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

Can respondents upload files?

Yes. This template includes a file upload question, so respondents can attach documents or photos with their answers. You can adjust the accepted file types and size limits on that question.

Is the signature on this form legally usable?

The template captures a drawn signature and stores it with the submission, along with the timestamp, so you keep evidence of who agreed and when. Whether that is sufficient depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement itself.
