All petition papers circulated for the purpose of recall shall be uniform in size and style. The signatures to petitions need not all be appended to one paper, but to each separate part there shall be attached an affidavit of the circulator that he personally circulated the petition, that it bears a stated number of signatures, that each signature was affixed in his presence, and that he believes them to be the genuine signatures of the persons whose names they purport to be. Each signature shall be in ink or indelible pencil. Each signer shall insert after his name his place of residence and date of signing. There shall appear on each copy of the petition the names and addresses of five voters who, as a committee of the petitioners shall be regarded as responsible to the Municipality for the circulation and filing of the petition. This committee shall file a copy of the petition with the Clerk before any signatures are obtained.
