Government / Politics
The part of the sentence I am having problems with is the 'To file' We use the term cargo politico for political office. I am translating a outreach flyer for an elections office. This will be given out to native speakers who have an interest in our local elections process. Here is the original sentence for context:
Thurston County Elections is here to answer all your questions, mail your
ballot, register new voters, and help candidates file for office.

presentar candidatura/presentarse como candidato
Si es para presentarse para ser electo en una elección usaría presentarse, si es para un cargo /puesto, postularse. Me parece que postularse es a un puesto.
Sutil diferencia.
Ejemplos:
3. Para presentar candidaturas, las agrupaciones de electores necesitarán, al menos, la firma del 1 % de los inscritos en el censo electoral de la circunscripción.
... a cambio de no presentarse como candidato presidencial en las nuevas elecciones del país
