On April 8, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued an opinion in Re: the Nomination Petitions of Rania Major, 15 EAP 2021. It holds that a signature on a petition is invalid unless the signer lists the address at which he or she is registered. Here is the 13-page opinion.
A few years ago the same court came to the opposite conclusion, but in 2019 the statute was amended. The old statute said signers should show their “residence” address on the petition. The new law says they should show the address at which they are registered.
ONE voter nom / issue pet forms.
Does this restore the restriction that you have to be a PA resident to collect signatures?
It is a good thing for the LP that a judge in PA ruled in 2012 that a signature on a petition was valid even if a voter put a different address on the petition from where they were registered, so long as they were registered to vote somewhere within the county page for which they signed, because if the judge in that case had ruled like the judge in this case, the Libertarian Party would have failed to get on the ballot in Pennsylvania in the 2012 election.
There is no connection to the out-of-state circulator matter.
