To be elected to a legislature, candidates typically must meet certain requirements, which can vary by jurisdiction. Common criteria include being a minimum age, usually 18 or 21 years old, being a citizen of the country, and being a resident of the area they wish to represent. Additionally, candidates may need to gather a specified number of signatures to qualify for the ballot and may be required to register with an election authority. Some legislatures also have restrictions related to prior criminal convictions or bankruptcy status.
