Thank you so much for assisting in signing and/or circulating nomination papers for Alex Joers to help get him on the ballot for Wisconsin State Representative. The campaign needs to collect at least 200 signatures to appear on the ballot. However, we are working to gather 400 signatures, the maximum allowed. Here are some important instructions and points to keep in mind when circulating nomination papers:

​

• Petition signers must be “qualified electors” and reside in the district with which the candidate is seeking election. For this race, that means all signers must reside within Assembly District 81.

• You do not need to be registered to vote to sign the petition but rather eligible to register and vote. That generally means 18 years or older, a U.S. Citizen, has lived in Wisconsin for at least 28 days, and has not lost the right to vote due to a criminal felony conviction for which the person is currently on probation, parole or extended supervision.

• Petition circulators must personally witness each signature, this means papers cannot be left unattended for signature collection.

• Please do not sign and date the bottom until after you have collected the signatures from the public. If the petition includes any signatures dated after your signature date, then those signatures will be invalid.

• Make sure the names and addresses are legible and that all information is filled out in its entirety; all fields are required by the Wisconsin Election Commission and the signature may not be counted if any information is incomplete.

• Before handing in completed petitions, make sure you (the circulator) have signed and dated the bottom of the page.

• Please do not number the pages in the bottom right hand corner; the campaign will enter the page numbers.

• You do not need to fill out all the signature slots on the page. If you can only get a few, that’s fine!

​

You may gather signatures by going door to door, talking to neighbors, circulating them at appropriate events, or on public property. If you're on private property, you must gain the property owners' permission before gathering signatures there. We request that nomination papers be submitted back to us by May 19th in order to allow appropriate time to process the forms before submitting them to the Wisconsin Election Commission.
