Complete·4/3/26

The Petition Administration Clarification Amendment Act of 2025 amends election laws to ensure petition signers' information remains unaltered.

The Petition Administration Clarification Amendment Act of 2025 amends the District of Columbia Election Code of 1955 and the Initiative, Referendum and Recall Procedures Act of 1979. It mandates that candidate nomination, initiative, referendum, and recall petition affidavits explicitly state that circulators have not altered signer information after signatures are affixed. Additionally, it prohibits anyone from altering signer information on petitions unless the signer requests assistance before signing. This act aims to maintain the integrity of petition signers' information.
