If the city had non-partisan elections, there probably wouldn't be a call for write-in candidates at this time.

A more reliable way to get the information would be to call the Board of Elections.

It is very easy to do. one must go to the board of elections and ask for the write in candidates forms. there are no signatures requirements but one must designate a treasurer with a filing fee.
