§ 8.11. Approval of Petition.

Latest version.

(a)

Nomination petitions may consist of several separately circulated and filed sheets, which together contain the number of valid signatures required for the respective city offices to be filled by the election. Circulators must be approved by the candidate in writing. If filed more than five days before the eighth Friday prior to the city election, the petitions shall be checked by the Clerk and their acceptability or inadequacy reported to the candidate within five days of filing in writing. The candidate may then file supplementary nominating petitions until the final time allowed for filing petitions.

(b)

Within five days after said final time for filing petitions, the Clerk shall make and announce and write on said petitions his final determinations as to validity and sufficiency thereof. The Clerk shall also at that time determine if the candidate meets the qualifications required by law and this Charter for the office sought and shall file a communication to each candidate accordingly.
