What is the biggest mistake made by a
candidate in petitions?
In signing these!!!
Do not sign without a notary!!!
• Pay attention to who is signing petition• Use your Street Sheets Wisely• Petition must be filled out as they are
on your street sheets!!• Go in high Republican Areas with
Dense Populations • Double Check all fields before leaving
doorstep• Ask if they would be interested in
Volunteer opportunities• Be Prepared for questions about
candidates
Keys for Circulators!!Remember just cause they are signing the petition does not
mean they are endorsing you! They are just helping you
over that first hump to get on the ballot
Street sheets are your Friend
Municipality as needed on the petition
Name as needed on Petition
