Section 10221 Of Article 2. Nomination Of Candidates From California Elections Code >> Division 10. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 2.
10221
. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), the signatures to
each nomination paper shall be appended on the same sheet of paper,
and each signer shall add his or her place of residence, giving the
street and number, if any, or another designation of his or her place
of residence, so as to enable its location to be readily
ascertained.
(b) Once a nomination paper is filed with the elections official,
the nomination paper may not be returned to the candidate to obtain
additional signatures. If the nomination paper is determined to be
insufficient or the candidate fails to obtain the correct number of
valid signatures on his or her nomination paper, the elections
official shall retain the original nomination paper, provide a copy
of the nomination paper to the candidate with an indication on of
which signatures are valid, and issue one supplemental petition to
the candidate on which the candidate may collect additional
signatures. The supplemental petition shall be filed not later than
the last day for filing for that office. The form of the supplemental
petition shall be the same as the nomination paper, except that the
word "Supplemental" shall be inserted above the phrase "Nomination
Paper."
