Comparison of Petition Forms

In the documents section of this web page, I have uploaded a file, "Combined Petition Form", which shows a petition form from the State of Illinois Candidate's Guide for 2015 and a copy of the petition provided us by the NBCUSD school district.

The clear difference is at the top of the IL State petition where you clearly see BIND HERE and and at the bottom where you clearly see PAGE ____.

The NBCUSD Petition given to us in a NBCUSD email is clearly lacking that information which are the 2 counts where are petitions were thrown out.

The 735 signature petition drive was lost on two issues, the petitions were not bound and they weren't numbered. We argued the point that we used the petition form given to us by NBCUSD district which is clearly lacking BIND HERE and and PAGE___. The hearing board did not give any weight to that argument, the state law clearly states the petition's need to be bound and numbered.
