Circulator Declarations

The shorthand is the

  1. first letter of the county below signatures
  2. first letter of first name
  3. first letter of last name
  4. first digit of house number
  5. first letter of street name
  6. first letter of city
  7. first letter of state
  8. full 5-digit zip code

Enter the count of signatures the circulator declared, not necessarily how many there actually are. You are recording what they wrote, not counting.

Enter the signing date, and tick the checkboxes only if signed and stamped by the notary.

Signatures

There are two formats for Nebraska petitions. Ballot initiatives have a county written at the top, and you will be prompted to enter that to search only within that county. Candidates do not have a county at the top and you search the whole state.

If the birth date, address, and first name all match, the last name does not have to match to be tagged as a match.

Only a birth date or address is required. No -a0 if birth date is provided. P.O. boxes are not deficient.

Printed name is not required if legal signature is unambiguously legible.

City and zip code are not required.
