May a person who has signed a petition withdraw his or her signature?
Probably, at least up to the time that the petition has been submitted to the city clerk and perhaps up until the time the council adopts a resolution setting the date for the referendum. The statute is silent on withdrawing a signature, but the courts have permitted persons to withdraw their signatures from other sorts of petitions, up until the petition is acted upon, and there is no reason to believe the same rule would not apply to this kind of petition.
