Each signer of a nomination petition shall
sign but one such petition for each office to be filled, and
shall declare therein that he is a registered and enrolled
member of the party designated in such petition: Provided,
however, That where there are to be elected two or more persons
to the same office, each signer may sign petitions for as many
candidates for such office as, and no more than, he could vote
for at the succeeding election. He shall also declare therein
that he is a qualified elector of the county therein named, and

in case the nomination is not to be made or candidates are not
to be elected by the electors of the State at large, of the
political district therein named, in which the nomination is
to be made or the election is to be held. He shall add his
address where he is duly registered and enrolled, giving city,
borough or township, with street and number, if any, and shall
legibly print his name and add the date of signing, expressed
in words or numbers: Provided, however, That if the said
political district named in the petition lies wholly within any
city, borough or township, or is coextensive with same, it shall
not be necessary for any signer of a nomination petition to
state therein the city, borough or township of his residence.
No nomination petition shall be circulated prior to the
thirteenth Tuesday before the primary, and no signature shall
be counted unless it bears a date affixed not earlier than the
thirteenth Tuesday nor later than the tenth Tuesday prior to
the primary.
