§ 28. Filing, examination, and certification of recall petitions.  


Latest version.
  • All petition papers comprising a recall petition shall be assembled and filed with the city clerk as one instrument. Within twenty (20) days after filing, the city clerk shall determine whether each paper of the petition is properly attested and whether the petition is signed by a sufficient number of qualified electors. Upon completing his examination, the city clerk shall certify the result thereof to the council. If he should certify that the petition is insufficient, he shall set forth in his certificate the particulars in which it is defective; provided, however, that except as to the particulars certified to be defective, the petition shall be deemed to be valid in all other respects.
