On April 12, the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website finally published a sample petition for independent candidates and the nominees of unqualified parties that is 8.5 inch by eleven inch paper.

Oh yeah, and a pinball machine. True OG gaming!
It should be available in both 8.5″ x 11″ and 8.5″ x 14″.
Zero signature forms are more environmentally friendly and 100% guaranteed to be completely free of all forgery and fraud.
ANOTHER REASON FOR ONE VOTER FORMS.
Zero voter forms > one voter forms!
Printers should not be forced to accept legal or ledger size paper. I support the First Amendment freedom of the press! đŸ˜‰
What size would zero or one voter forms be?
