§ 11.01 NOMINATIONS.
   There shall be no primary election for municipal offices. Nominations for the office of Mayor or Councilmember shall be made by petition only, on the standard forms provided by the Board of Elections of Montgomery County for the nomination of non-partisan candidates for such office in the odd numbered years in which they are to be elected. Each candidate for Mayor or Councilmember shall file a petition containing no less than fifty (50) signatures of qualified electors of the Municipality. Group petitions shall not be used for individual offices. Petitions shall be filed with the Board of Elections by 4:00 p.m. at least ninety (90) days before the election. The procedure established by the Ohio election laws for filing and voting shall be followed, except as modified by this Charter. An elector may sign only as many petitons for Mayor or Councilmember as there are places to be filled at the regular Municipal election.
