§ 20931. Residence Address.
(A) Native American Indian Reservation - If the provided residence address is assigned by the tribe or a non-public agency and the move is within the reservation. However, if the provided residence address is assigned by a public agency and is listed in the official street file or in the county elections management system, any change would invalidate the provided residence address, and therefore the signature would not be subject to signature verification.
(D) Military base - If the provided residence address is a non-traditional address or equivalent. However, if the provided residence address is a traditional address and is listed in the official street file or in the county elections management system, any change would invalidate the provided residence address and therefore the signature would not be subject to signature verification.
(A) The voter's address on the petition is the same as the address provided via an address update label affixed by the USPS and the registration effective date (or the transaction date if the registration date was not updated by the transaction) is on or before the date the voter signed the petition. However, if the voter's address on the petition is the same as the address provided via an address update label affixed by the USPS and the registration effective date (or the transaction date if the registration date was not updated by the transaction) is after the date the voter signed the petition, the elections official shall include the signature in the raw count, but the signature shall not be subject signature verification.
(B) The voter's address on the petition is the different from the address provided via an address update label affixed by the USPS, and the registration effective date (or the transaction date if the registration date was not updated by the transaction) is after the date the voter signed the petition. However, if the voter's address on the petition is different from the address provided via an address update label affixed by the USPS and the registration effective date (or the transaction date if the registration date was not updated by the transaction) is on or before the date the voter signed the petition, the elections official shall include the signature in the raw count, but the signature shall not be subject to signature verification.
(C) If the effective registration date change in (A) or (B) occurred during the dates between which all the signatures to the petition or paper were obtained as reported in the declaration signed by the circulator of the petition, it shall be presumed that the voter signed the petition with their previous address prior to the effective date of the address change or signed with their new address after the effective date of the address change.
(2) The signer transposes the house number of the residence address. However, if the signer signed the same petition twice, but transposed the house number on one of the two signatures, the signature with the correct information will be subject to signature verification, while the other will be invalidated as unregistered (if the house number exists) or as a duplicate (if the house number does not exist).
(3) The signer does not use their own handwriting to write their name, residence address or signature, or that information is preprinted prior to circulation. However, if the signer is disabled and cannot print or sign their name or write their residence address, or if the voter has a signature stamp that is the same as on the voter's registration record, the signature is subject to signature verification. In either case, a witness must also sign for the signature to be valid.
(4) The signer provides a P.O. Box only or provides no address whatsoever. However, if the signer has no residence address (for example, a homeless voter) and the signer provides the original identifying information that placed them in a precinct, the signature shall be subject to signature verification.
