About Petitions

There are three types of petitions: 1) a designating petition nominating a party candidate or committee member, 2) independent nominating petition may include a committee on vacancies, and 3) an opportunity to ballot petition for a cuase.

The voter need only sign the appropriate line on the petition sheet. All other information may be filled in by someone else. Corrections may be made to any information on the signature line. However, corrections or alterations in the date or signature MUST be initialed by the person making the correction. Voters may not sign a petition for more candidates than there are openings for an office. For example, if there is one council seat open, then the voter may only sign one petition for a candidate for that office.If there are 2 seats open, the voter may sign petitions for 2 candidates.
