Each nominating petition shall comply with state law, be signed by not less than twenty-five qualified electors, and be filed with the Clerk by four (4) o’clock p.m. on the twelfth Tuesday preceding the September primary election in each odd-numbered year. Each elector who signs a petition shall date his or her signature and include his or her residential street address on the petition.

The circulator of a petition shall attach to each petition a certificate stating (1) the number of signatures on the petition; (2) that each signature is that of the person whose name it purports to be; and (3) that each signature was made in the presence of the circulator.
