§ 21.14-1409. Procedures.

 Initiative and Referendum procedures shall be initiated upon petition signed by thirty percent of the registered electors of the Township. All Initiative and Referendum petitions shall contain or have attached thereto (throughout their circulation) the full text of the ordinance proposed or sought to be reconsidered. Each elector signing such petition shall add to his signature his occupation, residence, election district and the date of signing. Signatures on an Initiative or Referendum petition may be on separate sheets but each sheet shall have appended to it the affidavit of its circulator, not necessarily a signer of the petition, that to the best of the affiant’s knowledge and belief the persons whose signatures appear on the sheet are registered electors of the Township, that they signed with full knowledge of the contents of the petition, and their residences are correctly given.

 Such petition shall be tendered for filing to the County Board of Elections. No signature shall be counted as valid which is dated more than sixty days prior to the date the petition is tendered for filing. Upon tender to the County Board of Elections, the petition shall be available for examination by any interested person. Within fifteen days after tender of the petition, the County Board of Elections shall determine the validity and sufficiency of the petition including the validity and number of signatures required thereon; in the absence of any such action by the County Board of Elections the petition shall be deemed valid and sufficient. The result of the action or inaction by the County Board of Elections shall be subject to immediate review on appeal to the Court of Common Pleas.
