Nominating Petitions Rules and County Clerk’s View

Nomination petitions close around June 23 with three petitions from each precinct. Petitions must reflect 3 to 10 percent of votes cast for secretary of state in 1912 or for the successful candidate if new party. Circulators need not belong to the same party but affidavits note intent to support the named candidate. Signers must be voters and residents of the petition’s precinct, while circulators may differ. A county resident calls the petition process an embarrassing nuisance and a voter may oppose any legislator who won’t seek repeal.
