Pass a Petition

Before the race can begin, the campaign needs to collect enough signatures to get Kurt's name on the ballot. If you live in the district or would like to help support the campaign, download a petition and startcollecting signatures today.

Directions for Circulating a Petition for Kurt

1. You must be 18 years or older and a citizen of the United States. You need not have voted in the last Republican Primary, nor any primary. You are even eligable if you voted in the last Democrat Primary.
2. You must personally witness all signatures made on the petition.
3. You may sign your own petition.
4. You may pass this petition anywhere in the 19th district.
5. You may not circulate petitions for more than one political party in the same election year.
6. Petitions with less than 10 signatures on them DO count. If you are not able to fill out the entire petition, please send in the partial. Every signature counts!
7. If you find that a signature is invalid, don't worry. A bad signature does not negate a good one, or disqualify a petition. Let the campaign know which ones you believe are invalid.
8. You must sign as the circulator in the presence of a Notary Public licensed in Illinois and the Notary Public must affix his/her seal or stamp. Most banks and libraries will notarize free of charge.
9. DO NOT number the Petition page.

Directions for Signing a Petition for Kurt

1. You must be a registered voter and reside within the 19th District. You need not have voted in the last Republican Primary, nor any primary. You are even eligable if you voted in the last Democrat Primary.
2. You must sign your name as you are registered to vote. For example, Robert E. Jones cannot sign as Bobby Jones.
3. DO NOT use ditto marks for any part of an address.
4. You must use the address where you are registered to vote. Post Office boxes are not acceptable.
5. You MAY NOT sign petitions for candidates of more than one political party. You may, however, sign more than one candidate's petition of the same party who is seeking the same office. For instance, you could sign a Presidential Petition for both Mitt Romney and Rick Perry, but could not sign for Rick Perry and Barack Obama.
6. You cannot sign another member of your family's name on a petition.
