§ 102 Initiative Petition Circulation Age

• •You must be 18 or older to circulate any initiative, referendum, recall, or nomination paper.
• •The rule applies to both state and local petitions.
• •The law has been in effect since January 1 , 2014.

A 16‑year‑old high school student tries to gather signatures for a recall petition against a city official.

Because the student is under 18, the law says they cannot legally circulate that petition, so they would be breaking the rule.
