No Truck Parking PetitionAs you probably have seen, there are a gamut of petitions online these days, and every time you go to the polls to vote, you are probably ambushed with 20 people asking you to sign their petition. So, what makes a petition legal? Good question. The answer, however, has nothing to do with
the law. Unless it is a petition with certain legal requirements, such as
one where you are running for office and need a certain number of
signatures, petitions are very informal affairs. However, you should clearly
state the purpose of the petition at the top, and the signatures should be
authentic, with some identifying information, such as an address,
particularly if it's jurisdictional. Finally, petitions aren't so much legal
documents, but simply a way of showing someone you have support for the
issue or issues. If you can verify that the support you have through
signatures is authentic, you should be on solid grounds.
