Overview of Statute Petitions can only be signed by eligible voters. To make major political party nominations, signatories must be affiliated with the major political party named in the petition. When signing, signatories must affirm party affiliation and other requirements.
Petitions for minor party or unaffiliated candidates can be signed by any eligible voter who has not signed any other petition for the same office. Voters are to sign and print their own names, their addresses, and the date they signed, unless physically unable. To the extent possible, signatures are to be made in black ink. Anyone other than a circulator can assist a voter who is physically unable to sign himself in completing the petition information. Following the name of the signatory, the person providing assistance shall sign and say that he gave the disabled elector assistance.
