§ 10221 Nomination Paper Signatures
This rule says all signatures on a nomination paper must be on the same page with the signer’s address, and once the paper is filed you can’t go back for more signatures; if you don’t have enough, you get a new “supplemental” paper to finish the job.
Jane wants to run for city council. She gathers 30 neighbor signatures on one sheet, writes each neighbor’s street address, and hands the paper to the elections office. The office later finds only 20 signatures are valid. They give Jane a copy showing which 20 are good and hand her a supplemental petition to collect the remaining signatures before the filing deadline.
Jane can’t take the original paper back to get more names. Instead, the elections office marks the good signatures, gives her a new paper labeled “Supplemental,” and she must finish collecting signatures and file it by the last day allowed.
