§ 6782 Presidential Primary Signer Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •You can only sign one paper to help someone get on the presidential primary ballot.
  • •When you sign, you must write your name clearly and include where you live (city, street, and house number).
  • •This rule makes sure people don’t sign for too many candidates.

Example

If your friend is running for president and asks you to sign their paper, and another friend also asks you to sign theirs.

You can only sign one friend’s paper. If you sign both, it breaks the rule, and your signatures might not count.
