The top portion of the petition must be filled out prior to obtaining any signatures.
Type or print the name of the candidate on the face of the petitions exactly as you wish it to appear on the official ballot. If a married woman is proposed as a candidate her first name must be used on the petition; e.g., Mary Jones and not Mrs. John Jones. Nicknames are allowed only if they are a derivative of the legal name given. If you wish to have your name printed on the ballot other than your given name, you must have completed an Affidavit for Ballot Name Change Request, have it notarized and attached to your petition.
Make certain that each signer and circulator of a petition is a Registered and Enrolled Member of the Party Referred to in the Petition.

In the case of those electors having a rural route or RD number, the township must be listed. The date of signing may be expressed in numbers or words; e.g., February 17, 2015 or 2/17/2015. The given name of a married woman must be used by signer; e.g., Mary Jones not Mrs. John Jones. A candidate may sign his own petition.
No ditto marks are permitted on petitions. Any signature containing ditto marks will be disallowed.
Be sure the proper office title is set forth in your petition, including the term of office.
The candidate's affidavits that appear on the back of the petition must be signed and notarized. The circulator's affidavit must not be signed and notarized until after the petition has been circulated. A candidate may circulate his own petition.
