§ 8225 Petition Signature Verification

Key Takeaways

•After checking the petition, the elections official must write a certificate with the results.
•If enough people signed the petition, the official must give it to the board of supervisors right away or at their next meeting.
•The certificate must show the date it was checked.

Example

A group of people in a town want a new park. They collect signatures on a petition to ask the government for it.

After the elections official checks the petition and sees that enough people signed it, they write a certificate with the date and the number of signatures. Then, they give the petition to the board of supervisors at their next meeting so they can decide what to do about the park.

Upon the completion of his or her examination, the elections official shall forthwith attach to the petition his or her certificate, duly dated, showing the results of his or her examination. If the certificate shows that the petition is signed by the requisite number of voters, he or she shall immediately present the petition to the board of supervisors if it is in session, otherwise at its next meeting. (Enacted by Stats. 1994, Ch. 920, Sec. 2.)
