Who is responsible for submitting a petition to the local board of elections for verification, the sponsors of the petition or the city clerk?
The statute does not specify, and it might be prudent for the petition sponsors to submit it to the election board in order to assure that they have a sufficient number of valid signatures. Once the signatures are confirmed, the elections board could return it to the sponsors, who could then submit it to the city.
