What information needs to be included on the petition about each person signing it?
G.S. 160A-104 specifies that the petition contain each person's signature and resident address. The address is necessary in order for the board of elections to be able to verify the validity of a signature. The model petition form included in another part of this website also asks that each signer's name be printed, which also facilitates confirming the validity of the signature.
