7-9-105. Form of referendum petition -- Sufficiency of signatures.

(a) The petition and order of referendum shall be on substantially the following form:

"PETITION FOR REFERENDUM

(b) The information provided by the person on the petition may be used as evidence of the validity or invalidity of the signature. However, if a signature of a registered voter on the petition is sufficient to verify the voter's name, then it shall not be adjudged invalid for failure to sign the name or write the residence and city or town of residence exactly as it appears on voter registration records, for failure to print the name in the space provided, for failure to provide the correct date of birth, nor for failure to provide the correct date of signing the petition, all of that information being an aid to verification rather than a mandatory requirement to perfect the validity of the signature.

(c) No additional sheets of voter signatures shall be attached to any petition unless the sheets contain the full language of the petition.
