Key Takeaways

  • •If you're collecting signatures for a petition to change a law, you can split the petition into parts.
  • •Each part of the petition must have the exact same wording of the proposed change.
  • •You can't change the words in different parts of the petition.

Example

You and your friends want to change a school rule, so you make a petition and ask other students to sign it.

If you split the petition into different sheets to get more signatures, each sheet must have the exact same words explaining the rule change you want.
