Charter ART. VII
Section 5. Nominations. A qualified elector may be nominated for an
elective City office to be filled at the election. The nomination must be by a
petition that specifies the office sought and must be in a form prescribed by the
Council. The petition shall be signed by not fewer than twenty-five (25)
electors, and with the candidate's written acceptance of such nomination. No
elector may sign more than one petition for each office to be filled at the
election. If he/she does so, his/her signature will be valid only on the first
sufficient petition filed for the office. The signatures to a nomination
petition need not all be appended to one paper, but to each separate paper of
the petition shall be attached an affidavit of the circulator thereof, indicating the
number of signers of the paper and stating that each signature of the person
appended thereto was made in his/her presence, and is the genuine signature
of the person whose name it purports to be. Opposite each signature shall be
stated the date of signing, the signer's place or residence, identified by its street
and number or other sufficient designation. The Recorder shall make a record
of the exact time at which each petition is filed and shall take and preserve the
name and address of the person by whom it is filed. If the petition is not signed
by the required number of qualified electors, the Recorder shall notify the
candidate and the person who filed the petition within twelve (12) days after the
filing. If the petition is insufficient in any other particular, the Recorder shall
return it immediately to the person who filed it, certifying in writing wherein the
petition is insufficient. The deficient petition may be amended and filed again as
a new petition, or a substitute petition for the same candidate may be filed,
within the regular time for filing nomination petitions. All nomination papers
comprising a petition shall be assembled and filed in final form as one
instrument with the Recorder not less than twelve (12) days before the date that
the Recorder must file the same with the County Clerk. (Charter Amendment
11-2-82)
Section 6. Canvass of Returns. In all elections held in conjunction with
State and County elections, the State laws governing the filing of returns by the
County Clerk shall apply. In each special City election, the returns therefrom
shall be filed with the Recorder on or before noon the day following; and, not
later than five (5) days after the election, the Council shall meet and canvass
the returns. The results of all elections shall be entered in the record of the
proceedings of the Council. The entry shall state the total number of votes cast
at the election, the votes cast for each person, and for and against each
proposition, the name of each person elected to office, the office to which
he/she has been elected, and a reference to each measure enacted or
approved. Immediately after the canvass is completed, the Recorder shall
make and sign a Certificate of Election of each person elected and deliver the
Certificate to him/her within one (1) day after the canvass. A Certificate so
