Some simple rules for printing this at home and circulating it (I'll send more details in a separate email):

PLEASE NOTE: California Law provides very strict guidelines on obtaining invalid initiative petition signatures. For instance:

•Petition must be printed double-sided. The two pages are in the pdf file.

•Do not alter the SIZE or FORMAT of the Petition as the law requires all dimensions to remain the same. (See details in the Instruction sheet.)

•All signatures on a petition must be by REGISTERED VOTERS of the SAME County that is designated on both sides of the Petition. Use separate petitions for each different county.  [*If you are not registered to vote you may fill out a voter registration form and then immediately thereafter sign the petition. Follow this link to access the online California voter registration form in a new window.]

•The person circulating the Petition must WITNESS each person as they sign. You do not have to fill in all five signature blocks for the petition to be valid. You may submit your Petition with as few as one and as many as five signatures.

•The person who circulates the Petition, even if you only circulate it to yourself, must sign EACH petition at the bottom. (See details in the Instruction sheet.)

Signatures that are improperly collected will be invalid and will not be counted. Please download the petition instructions and follow them very carefully!

1. 1.Download the Petition_Instructions.pdf. Print Petition double-sided. Do not staple!
   

2. Download the Initiative: CHSP_Online_Petition_Form.pdf.

3. Gather Signatures (Or simply sign for yourself)

Be sure to follow the signature guidelines in the Instructions very carefully. Remember that you (as the "Circulator" of your copy of the Petition) must witness every signature.

4. Complete “Circulator” Information about Yourself

Be sure to follow Instructions; when all the signatures are gathered, the circulator (you) must sign the bottom of this section, fill in the date and location, and fill in your address information. This applies even if yours was the only signature gathered on your copy of the Petition.

5. Mail the Petition as soon as it is completed:

Please return your petition ASAP to:
