(HB 1251)
Signatures on certain petitions, presumption about the voter created.
Section
1.
There is a rebuttable presumption that the signer of a petition filed pursuant to
chapter 2-1, 6-16, 7-18A, 9-13, 9-20, 12-6, 12-7, or 13-7 is not a qualified elector if the signer's
name fails to appear on the active voter registration list of the county stated on the petition as the
signer's county of registration on the date the petition was signed. This rebuttable presumption may
only be overcome by clear and convincing evidence presented by the petition sponsor, circulator,
or candidate.
