What happens if a petition gets enough signatures?
Typically, after there are enough signatories, the resulting letter may be delivered to the subject of the petition, usually via e-mail. The online petition may also deliver an email to the target of the petition each time the petition is signed.
Can anyone sign a petition?
Anyone signing a petition must be of legal age to vote and a registered voter from the state, city or county that the petition is circulating. A non-registered signature will be stricken from the record.
Can one person write a petition letter?
Sometimes a certain number of signatures are required for the petition to be considered by people of influence but every person has the right to write a Petition Letter. The letter can be written on behalf of a project head or on behalf of a group of people (an organization).
Who can sign petitions?
Voters interested in assisting Statewide and Legislative candidates can now sign a petition electronically. Clean Elections candidates are required to obtain $5 qualifying contributions from registered voters to qualify for public funding.
