Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a candidate shall not file nomination papers for more than one municipal office or term of office for the same municipality in the same election. Signatures/Nomination Papers Section 10221(a) 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. Section 10221(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.” Affidavit of Circulator/Nomination Papers Section 10222 Every nomination paper shall have annexed an affidavit of the person who circulated it; to the effect that they saw written all the signatures appended thereto, and knows that they are the signatures of the persons whose names they purport to be.

The statement shall contain a blank space wherein the candidate shall be required to fill in their name in the manner in which they wish the same to appear on the ballot and also the designation which they wish to have under their name on the ballot, which designation shall conform to one of the designations permitted under this code relating to the forms of ballots generally.
