AI Summary

  • Requires petition circulators to either read the petition description aloud to each signer or allow sufficient time for the person to read it themselves before signing.

  • Circulators must inform signers that reading the description is required and each person must affirm they have heard and understood or read and understood the description before signing.

  • Circulators must draw a line through and void the signature of any person who signs without hearing or reading the description; voided signatures are not counted toward petition validity.

  • Applies the description reading requirements to both initiative petitions (section 19-102) and referendum petitions (section 19-101).

  • Directs the Secretary of State to remove signatures with lines drawn through them during the petition verification process when determining if a petition meets the constitutional minimum signature requirement.
