  • •If the petition has enough signatures, the clerk says it's good to go.

Example

A group of people want to put a new rule on the ballot, so they collect signatures.

The clerk checks the signatures. If there are enough, the clerk says 'yes, this can go on the ballot.' If not, the clerk says 'you only have 500 signatures, but you need 1,000.'
