1-4-908. Verification of petition and official statement
The secretary of state will establish guidelines for verifying petition entries. These guidelines require designated officials to review all petition information and verify the information against registration records, and, where applicable, the county assessor’s records. After review, the official will notify the candidate about the number of valid signatures and the petition’s sufficiency no later than ninety-six days before the general election. After determining that the petition is sufficient and the period for protest has passed, the official will certify the candidate for the ballot, and, if it is a coordinated election, notify the coordinated election official.
(1) Upon filing, the designated election official for the political subdivision shall review all petition information and verify the information against the registration records, and, where applicable, the county assessor’s records. The secretary of state shall establish guidelines for verifying petition entries.

(3) After review, the official shall notify the candidate of the number of valid signatures and whether the petition appears to be sufficient or insufficient.

Upon determining that the petition is sufficient and after the time for protest has passed, the designated election official shall certify the candidate to the ballot, and, if the election is a coordinated election, so notify the coordinated election official.
