Main

The main State Executive Officials category is Category:State executive images. If you cannot remember the specific image category or a category does not exist for that particular image, add Category:State executive images.

Candidates

For an image of a candidate, you'll want to add:

• Category:Images of YEAR POSITION candidates (EXAMPLE: Category:Images of 2010 gubernatorial candidates)

AND

• Category:Images of candidates for STATE POSITION (with the exception of Gov, Lt. Gov and AG)

In other words, for a:

• lieutenant governor candidate, you would add Category:Images of candidates for Lieutenant Governor of Arkansas (replace state as needed)
• attorney general candidate, you would add Category:Images of candidates for Attorney General of California

• Example: for a Secretary of State, you would add Category:Images of candidates for Florida Secretary of State

Campaign logos

For campaign logos or signs used by candidates and their campaigns, use Category:State executive official campaign logos.

Maps created for the SEO project, should be categorized under Category:State executive map images.
