You can sign numerous petitions if eligible. The canvasser is responsible for determining eligibility.

You can sign if there are multiple seats on the ballot. Example, if there are 3 school board seats, you can sign for 3 school board candidates. If there’s only one, you can only sign one petition.

Correct! You can sign as many petitions as you would vote for on the ballot. For example, School Board can be a vote for 4. You could sign 4 school board candidate petitions.

25 P.S. § 2868. Manner of signing nomination petitions; time of circulating

Each signer of a nomination petition shall sign but one such petition for each office to be filled, and shall declare therein that he is a registered and enrolled member of the party designated in such petition: Provided, however, That where there are to be elected two or more persons to the same office, each signer may sign petitions for as many candidates for such office as, and no more than, he could vote for at the succeeding election.

Thank you all!

But! If you are a democrat, for most races you can only sign the petitions of democrats. Same with republicans. Only exception may be mag/dist judge.

Also, for school board races, a republican can sign only the petition circulated by a republican. Same for democrats. Example: if you are a republican and the petition is being circulated by a democrat, you can not sign that petition. (Well,, you can put your signature on that petition but it can be challenged in court.)

Correct. The signers must be registered in the same party as presented on the petition- some candidates can cross file (like School Director) so they could be circulating a D petition and an R petition. Signers must also live in the district that the office represents. Using School Director as example, a person who lives outside the school district cannot sign.

I guess a better way to say it would be that you can sign a petition for a candidate you would be eligible to vote for in the Primary and as many candidates that you would be able to vote for in the Primary.

>some candidates can cross file (like School Director) so they could be circulating a D petition and an R petition.

Clarification: No school board candidate is allowed to carry a petition for both parties. If that candidate is republican, they can only circulate for republican signatures. They will need to reach out to a democrat to circulate for democratic signatures. And vice-versa.

Good point of clarification!
