§ 4.04. Nomination by Petition.

All candidates for elective office provided for by this Charter shall be nominated by petition. The name of any registered voter of the City shall be printed upon the ballot as a candidate for an office whenever a petition signed by at least ten registered voters has been filed with the City Clerk in a candidate's behalf within the time period provided by state law for such filings. No registered voter shall sign petitions for more candidates for any office than the number of persons to be chosen for that office at the election; should a signer do so, the signer's signature shall be void as to the petition or petitions last filed. Each petition presented shall be accompanied by a twenty-five dollar ($25.00) filing fee.
