Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. Each nominating petition circulated by candidates for any state, district, county, or 
other political subdivision office must include or have attached the following 
information, which must be made available to each signer at the time of signing:
a. The candidate's name, address, nongovernment issued electronic mail address, 
and telephone number and the title of the office to which the candidate aspires, 
including the appropriate district number if applicable, and whether the petition is 
intended for a full or unexpired term of office.
b. The name of the party the candidate represents if the petition is for an office 
under party designation.
c. The date of the election at which the candidate is seeking nomination or election.
2. Only qualified electors of the state, district, county, or other political subdivision, as the 
case may be, may sign nominating petitions. In addition to signing and printing the 
individual's name, petition signers shall include the following information:
a. The date of signing.
b. Complete residential address . A post office box does not qualify as a residential 
address. In areas of the state where street addresses are not available, a 
description of where the residential address is located must be used.
c. Complete mailing address if different from residential address.
3. Incomplete signatures or accompanying information of petition signers which does not 
meet the requirements of this section invalidates the applicable signatures. The use of 
ditto marks to indicate the information contained on the previous signature line carries 
over does not invalidate a signature. Signatures that are not accompanied by a 
complete date are not invalid if the signatures are preceded and followed by a 
signature that is accompanied by a complete date.
