Circulators of Nomination Petitions

Circulators of nomination petitions no longer need to be residents of the election district where they circulate petitions, though they must still be a registered voter in Pennsylvania. If you are going to circulate petitions, you must now complete a statement under penalty of perjury for signature pages, instead of a notarized affidavit.

 

Circulators of Nomination Papers

Act 77 codifies caselaw relating to nomination papers filed by minor political party and political-body candidates seeking to be placed on the ballot. Circulators of nomination papers do not need to be registered voters in Pennsylvania or Pennsylvania residents. In addition, if you are going to circulate nomination papers, you must complete a statement under penalty of perjury for signature pages, instead of a notarized affidavit.
