2. The petition is two-sided. If your printer can do two-sided printing, that's great. If not, don't worry about it. The back side is an affidavit that you will need when you give us your filled out petition. It doesn't have to be on the back of the petition but it does have to be attached.

The number one thing is to ask people to sign. Yes, there are a lot of rules (they make it complicated on purpose) but just ask people to sign and we can work out the details. ASK!
Basics for people who sign the petition:
If you have found a Notary Public to handle your affidavit, you can do one of two things. Send us an email at info@partyofthecenter.org to tell us that you are ready and would like someone to pick them up. Or you can mail them (they can be folded) to: Party of the Center Petitions PO BOX 1656 Lawrence, KS 66044 If you need a Notary Public, send us an email at info@partyofthecenter.org and let us know. We will tell you what you need to do. What about the affidavit a circulator must sign? The second page of our petition is labeled "Affidavit of Petition Circulator." If you have asked people to sign the petition, guess what, you are a Petition Circulator! Pretty cool huh? Kansas state law requires a circulator to sign the affidavit with this specific language. It must be signed in front of a Notary Public. We will work to have Affidavit Parties (sounds fun, right?) in a number of counties so if you don't have access to a Notary Public don't worry. Hang on to your petition sheets and let us know at info@partyofthecenter.org that you have sheets ready to turn in. We will tell you what to do next. If you have multiple petition pages, first of all you're awesome. Also, you don't need to sign an affidavit for every page, just for every set of pages you collected. However, if you have pages from different counties (remember each page can only have signers from one county) then you should sign an affidavit for each set of petitions for each county you have signers. We must group our petitions by county when we turn them into the Secretary of State. That office will send each county's group of petitions out to the county clerk for that county so your petitions will be separated by county. If you are a customer of a bank, they usually will notarize things for you. Some city and county offices will also do it. All they are notarizing is that you are who you say you are and that you signed the statement. They will ask for an ID such as a driver's licence. When you sign the affidavit, all you are stating is that you watched the person sign the petition. You are not swearing that you know who they are or that they are qualified to sign. They told you they were and signed. The county clerks will find out if they are not qualified voters when they check the petitions against the voter registration lists. |
