Elections: petitions.
Summary
Existing law requires that a declaration setting forth certain information be attached to an initiative, referendum, or recall petition or paper that is submitted to an elections official. Under existing law, a voter may file a written request with the elections official to withdraw his or her signature from an initiative, referendum, or recall petition prior to its filing. This bill would provide that a voter's written request to withdraw his or her signature from these petitions is not a petition or paper requiring a declaration.
