What is Write-in candidate?
A '''write-in candidate''' is a candidate in an election whose name does not appear on the [[ballot]], but for whom voters may [[vote]] by writing in the person's name. Write-in candidates do not win very often. Sometimes write-in votes are cast for people who cannot hold office, or they are fictional characters. Some places require write-in candidates be registered as official candidates before the election.<ref>See, for example, Section 1-4-1101, Colorado Revised Statutes (2008)</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Voting]] [[Category:Elections]]
