Common Mistakes for Petition Circulators to Avoid

 
  • DO NOT take pages out of the petition packet
  • DO NOT un-staple your petition packet
  • DO NOT fill out information for the voter
  • DO NOT sign your own petition. As the petitions circulator you will only sign the “Statement of Circulator” on the last page. You can be a petition signer on someone elses petition.
  • DO NOT combine counties on a single petition packet.
  • DO fill out all required information on the last page
  • DO instruct the voter to write information legibly
  • DO make sure the signer is a registered voter in the county for your petition
  • DO make sure the voter fills out all required information
  • DO make sure the voter fills out accurate information to the best of your ability
  • DO Not Abbreviate.
  • Do Not have the voter Fill out Ward/Precinct box on the Petition unless they are 100% sure of the precinct they belong to. It is better for the box to be blank than filled out with the incorrect precinct/ward information.
