Candidates: Get Lots of Signatures

By Phil Van Treuren

A quick word about your candidacy petition for local races: as a rule of thumb, makes sure you get as many signatures as you can.  We do this for a couple of different important reasons.

First, members of the opposing party or your opponent’s campaign will probably make a point of checking all of your signatures to see if they can invalidate any of them.  Reasons for invalidation can include having signatures from people who aren’t registered to vote; signatures of people from the wrong political party; and even people who simply fill the form out incorrectly.

It’s likely that some of your signatures will be invalidated for one reason or another, which means that if you only got the exact amount of signatures needed that you will be in trouble.  By getting dozens or even hundreds more signatures than you need, then you will be ensuring that invalidated signatures won’t sink your campaign before it even starts. » read more
