If a nomination petition is not signed by the required number of qualified electors, or during a declared state of emergency is not accompanied by a fee in lieu of the required number of signatures, the Recorder will notify the candidate within five days after the filing. The Recorder will return it immediately to the candidate, and state in writing how the petition is deficient. The deficient petition may be amended and filed again as a new petition, or a substitute petition for the same candidate may be filed within the time requirements for filing petitions.
