title:
Nominating petition
text:
A nominating petition is required in some jurisdictions, particularly in the United States of America, in order for an independent or non-major-party candidate to gain ballot access. A certain number of valid signatures is typically prescribed by statute in order for the candidate to get on the ballot. Thus, it is necessary to get an overage of "raw" signatures in order to assure getting on the ballot, as some signatures may be illegible, incomplete, of individuals not registered to vote, or not
