Petition pages
60The number on the last page of the petition, from the Board's receipt. It isn't a signature count: each page holds a limited number of lines, and not every line is filled.
Signatures · our count
497 (incomplete)Every filled-in signature line we counted on all 50 sheets of the petition copy, leaving out lines that were crossed out. Our copy has 10 fewer readable sheets than the Board's receipt lists (blank or missing scans), so this undercounts.
Valid signatures
Not yet checkedThe Board checks for duplicates and voters outside the ward only if someone objects. Objections can be filed Oct 27–Nov 2.
