Below is additional information about the nomination petition process:
• The nomination petitions must be handled in the order appearing on the form.
1) The top of the form must be completed prior to obtaining any signatures.
2) When obtaining the AB electors' signatures, have them provide everything that is requested on the
form.
3) The person who circulated the nomination petition form must complete the Statement of Circulator
by writing in the number of signatures per page; signing, and providing their home and business
phone numbers.
4) Candidates must complete the Acceptance of Nomination by providing a signature, home phone,
and business phone.
• Petitions are required and must be filed with the city clerk no later than 5:00 nm on August 16 (10
days prior to the qualifying period); however, I recommend that you file them at least three days
earlier, based on the following reasons:
You will need to obtain at least 25 signatures of registered Atlantic Beach electors, qualified to vote
(although I recommend getting more in case there are some signatures that do not pass the verification
process) and file the petitions with me (or Deputy City Clerk Ladayija Nichols). Once the petitions
are properly filed, someone from my office will email them to the Duval County Supervisor of
Elections Office to verify. If there are less than 25 signatures counted/verified, and the deadline has
passed (August 16 at 5:00 p.m.), you would not be able to qualify.
The Charter states in part - ..."Within two days after the filing of a nominating petition, the city clerk
shall notify the candidate and the person who filed the petition whether or not it is found to be signed
by the required number of qualified electors. If a petition is found insufficient, the city clerk shall
return it immediately to the person who filed it with a statement certifying wherein the petition is
found insufficient. Within the regular time for filing petitions, such a petition may be amended and
filed again as a new petition, in which case the time of the first filing shall be disregarded in
determining the validity of signatures thereon, or a different petition may be filed for the same
candidate" ...
