Only one city or town on each nomination paper

Each page of the nomination papers should contain signatures of registered voters from only one city or town. District boundaries may be checked on the list of districts available from the Secretary of the Commonwealth.

Make sure signatures are legitimate

Since the local registrars of voters or election commissioners must certify each name as that of a registered voter in their jurisdiction, names from other communities will be disallowed. If a candidate is running for office in a district that crosses city or town lines, separate nomination papers should be circulated and submitted in each municipality. Refer to Signature Procedures for further signature regulations.
