Within thirty (30) days after the filing of the certificate of recall under Section 6.13, the committee shall file the completed petition in the office of the City Administrator. Failure to timely file the petition invalidates the petition. The petition for the recall shall consist of a copy of the certificate of recall together with all the signature papers and affidavits thereto attached. When the official subject to recall is a mayor, such petition shall not be completed unless signed by registered voters of the City equal to at least twenty percent (20%) of the total number of voters registered on the date of the preceding regular municipal election. When the official subject to be recalled is a ward council member, only registered voters who are residents of his ward shall be eligible to sign the recall petition and vote at the recall election and the required number be at least twenty percent (20%) of the total number of registered voters in the ward on the date of preceding regular municipal election. All the signatures need not be on one signature paper, but the circulator of every paper shall make an affidavit that each signature appended to the paper is the genuine signature of the person whose name it purports to be. Each signature paper shall be in substantially the following form:
