<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

Some background, I turn 18 the day before the general election, I am pre registered to vote and very much plan on voting on November 8th. So when I considered running for the position of Special District Trustee, where the only qualification requirement is to be a legal voter in Hillsborough County, I was ecstatic. I've always wanted to work in government, and this seemed like the most reasonable first step. 

I emailed/called our Supervisor of Elections multiple times over discussing the legality of me being eligible to run, and at first it seemed like I wouldn't be able to get myself on the ballot due to legal forms regarding campaign funds would need to be signed by some time in June, when I'd still be 17. So from that, I assumed I'd be able to run a write-in campaign seeing how when voters will be at the ballot place on Election Day, I'd be of legal age. Yet when I went to meet the Supervisor in person to discuss this with him he told me that Florida state law states that all candidates must be electors (18 years old) by the date listed by the forms required, write in or otherwise. 

How is this at all fair in any way? I'll be an eligible voter the day of the election itself, I'll be just as much a legal adult as anyone else by that point, why can't I be allowed to run as well? Should this be something I take to court?
<bot>: If I'm eligible to vote, why am I not eligible to run for a position where the only requirement is to be eligible to vote?
