Signatures must be from Brunswick
registered voters. If someone is not registered, or they have moved,
you may give them a voter registration form to fill out and then they may
sign the petition. (Turn the registration form in with the petition) |
| 2. |
Only one person may circulate each
petition page. If both you and your spouse are collecting signatures, then
you each must have your own petition page. |
| 3. |
You MUST carry the five-page
comparison with you at all times so that anyone wishing to compare
the current charter with the proposed amendments may do so before signing. |
| 4. |
You must personally witness each
signature. A person may only sign their own name!! Under no
circumstances can anyone sign for another person. |
| 5. |
Signatures may not be printed. But, if a
signature is illegible (you can’t read the name) they must print their
name on the line below (just skip that line when the next person signs).
The address must also be legible. |
| 6. |
If a mistake is made, draw a line through
the entire petition line and have them start again on the next line. Dates
must be correct. |
| 7. |
If someone doesn’t know their ward or
precinct, look it up on the map for them so they can fill in all
required blanks. |
| 8. |
You must not offer any incentive, reward,
or payment to anyone for signing the petition. You also must not in anyway
intimidate anyone into signing. |
| 9. |
Be sure you sign the petition in the
appropriate space when you are finished collecting signatures and enter
the total number of signatures on that page in the space provided. |
| 10. |
Return petition forms as soon as possible
so that we may track our progress. Even if you didn’t fill the whole
page, they must be returned. |
