Said nomination petition may be on
one or more sheets, and different sheets must be used for
signers resident in different counties. If more than one sheet
is used, they shall be bound together when offered for filing
if they are intended to constitute one petition, and each sheet
shall be numbered consecutively beginning with number one, at
the foot of each page. In cases of petitions for delegate or
alternate delegate to National conventions, each sheet shall
contain a notation indicating the presidential candidate to
whom he is committed or the term "uncommitted." Each sheet shall
have appended thereto the statement of the circulator of each
sheet, setting forth, subject to the penalties of 18 Pa.C.S. §
4904 (relating to unsworn falsification to authorities)--(a)
that he or she is a qualified elector of the Commonwealth, who
is duly registered and enrolled as a member of the party
designated in said petition, unless said petition relates to
the nomination of a candidate for a court of common pleas, for
the Philadelphia Municipal Court or for justice of the peace,
in which event the circulator need not be a duly registered and
enrolled member of the designated party; (b) his residence,
giving city, borough or township, with street and number, if
any; (c) that the signers thereto signed with full knowledge
of the contents of the petition; (d) that their respective
residences are correctly stated therein; (e) that they all
reside in the county named in the statement; (f) that each
signed on the date set opposite his name; and (g) that, to the
best of the circulator's knowledge and belief, the signers are
qualified electors and duly registered and enrolled members of
the designated party of the State, or of the political district,
as the case may be.
