All petition papers circulated for the purposes of recall shall be uniform in size and style. The signature to petitions need not all be appended to one paper, but to each separate part there shall be attached an affidavit of the circulator as provided herein. Each signer shall sign his or her name in ink or indelible pencil and shall insert after his or her name his or her place of residence and the 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. The committee shall file a copy of the petition with the City Clerk before any signatures are solicited or obtained. Attached to each part of the petition, when signed and filed with the City Clerk, shall be an affidavit of the circulator thereof that such circulator only personally circulated the foregoing paper, that it bears a stated number of signatures, that each signature was affixed in the presence of the circulator, and that the circulator believes them to be the genuine signatures of the persons whose names they purport to be.
