In-State Tuition Breaks For Illegal Immigrants

The Board of Elections will throw out any signature that is not perfectly clear – even on the seemingly smallest detail.

Ask petition signers what county they live in.

• This is important because the Board of Elections separates signatures by county, and you have to either fill in the line at the top for the County or check for Baltimore City. For example, if someone from Washington County signed a sheet that had Frederick County at the top, their signature could be invalidated.

2. Before petition signers fill in their information, make sure to tell them that they need to put down their full name and address. At a minimum, signers need to include full first name, middle initial, and full last name.

• More information is better, because if they put their abbreviated name or leave out their address or date of birth, their signature will be invalid.
• Notice that the street address and the city have separate columns. Please point this out to signers.

3. At the end of the day, or if your sheet is full, you must personally fill out the information at the bottom

• Individual circulator’s printed or typed name – this is for whomever witnessed the signatures.
• Residence address, City, State, and Zip –your full, legal name and address.
• Telephone Number – must be included to have a valid sheet.
• Circulator’s Signature and Date – THIS SHOULD BE THE LAST THING YOU FILL OUT!
  • If any date in the left column is a later date than the date with your signature, the entire sheet will be thrown out.
