petition circulators

Petition circulators are individuals who gather signatures from people to support a specific cause or to request a change, such as adding a new law or candidate to an election ballot. They actively approach potential signers, explain the petition’s purpose, and collect their signatures to demonstrate public support. Circulators must follow legal requirements, including verifying signers' identities and ensuring signatures are collected correctly. Their role is essential in the democratic process, as it helps translate community opinions into official action or policy changes.
