individuals that have only their own signature |

don’t have time to go to go there) |
| |
OR |
|
7. |
take the
original petitions and notarized affidavit to your county elections office and mail copies of the petitions and affidavit to (Take care not to mix originals and copies; county name or at least one signature in blue ink on original is one way to make sure they don't get mixed up)
|
| |

|
| |
(This is generally preferable,
especially for those with more than one page of

pages you hand in and mail that to us also)
|
|
8. |
Make sure the fourth column is legible. If they can’t read your printed name, it will be thrown out. Last name, first and middle initial is preferred. The signature in the first column is supposed to match that on your voter’s registration. The elections office workers prefer physical address in the third column. The last two columns are to be left blank. Emphasize to signers that they must be registered to vote in the county at the bottom of the page they sign.
|
|
9. |
Register folks to vote if you can.
|
|
