A nominating, initiative, referendum or recall petition may be circulated in separate parts, but the separate parts shall be bound together and filed as one instrument. Each part shall contain, in the case of initiative or referendum, a full and correct copy of the title and text of the proposed or objectionable ordinance or resolution, and in the case of a recall, the name and office of the person whose removal is sought and a statement of not more than two hundred (200) words stating the grounds for that removal.
Each separate part of said petition shall be either printed or typewritten and shall bear the names of at least five (5) registered electors who shall be officially regarded as filing the petition and shall constitute the Petitioners' Committee for the purpose named therein.
Each signer or a person's attorney-in-fact, as provided for in Section 3501.382 of the Ohio Revised Code, of a petition referred to shall sign his or her name in ink or indelible pencil and shall place on the petition paper after his or her name, his or her place of residence by street and number.
