§ 11107 Petition Examination Certification

After each exam, the elections official must immediately add a dated certificate showing the exam result, send a copy of the petition (but not the signatures) to the Secretary of State, and keep a copy of the certificate on file.

Key Takeaways

  • •Attach a dated certificate with the exam result right after the exam is done.
  • •Send a copy of the petition (but leave out the signatures) to the Secretary of State.
  • •File a copy of the certificate in the official’s own office.

Example

A county clerk finishes checking a batch of voter registration forms.

The clerk puts a dated certificate on the paperwork that says how many forms were approved, mails a copy of the forms (without the actual signatures) to the Secretary of State, and saves a copy of the certificate in their office records.
