Maybe someone here can answer this for me. PSL is an official write-in candidate in my state, but I can’t find any rules or guidance from the state on how they want the write-ins formatted. I don’t want it to get rejected because of some stupid formatting issue, basically.
Any advice or information on how to correctly write in? Obviously, spelling counts. My gut is telling me to do it like the other candidates:
De La Cruz
And
Garcia

I ain’t no big city law-man, now…
But probably best to email whatever point of contact they provide and ask directly
according to U.S Election Assistance Commission some allow last name only, some need full name, some have candidates submit an official list of misspellings that can count and otherwise are tossed, some allow stickers, some allow stamps

You can also check with your state election office to find out the rules for your state. If you check using your state’s election website, enter “write-in candidates” in the search bar.
It is my understanding that you write in the name of the candidate running and don’t worry about their running mate.
so “Claudia De La Cruz”
Yeah I looked up the rules doe my state and w you put either the President or VP and they count as a “vote for both” or whatever if they can “determine which candidate it is” So I’m going to do like you said and put Claudia’s full name.
