initiative, referendum, recall, nomination, or other election
petition or paper, the elections official shall determine that the
residence address on the petition or paper is the same as the
residence address on the affidavit of registration. If the addresses
are different, or if the petition or paper does not specify the

in the petition, the affected signature shall not be counted as
valid.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the elections official shall
not invalidate a signature for an incomplete or inaccurate apartment

(b) A signature invalidated pursuant to this section shall not
affect the validity of another valid signature on the particular
petition or paper.
