Instructions for Single Signature

Signers and witnesses must be registered New York City voters. If you're not, you can download a registration form online and mail it in to the Board of Elections (see link on the left). Then follow these instructions:

1. Right-click here and choose "Save As" to download the petition form to your computer.

2. Print 2 copies of the petition form. One is for you and the other is for the person witnessing your signature.

3. [Note: Your name and address should be exactly as it is on your voter registration form.] Using blue ink, on page 1 of the first copy sign your name on the top line of the left side, then neatly print your name right below that. Then neatly print your street address with apartment number on the top line to the right, and your borough and zip code below. Lastly print your county on the far right and date on the far left. Then sign on page 2 and 3 in the signature line at the bottom of the page.

4. A witness is required, so have another registered voter witness your petition by filling in their signature under Statement of Witness.*

5. Have your witness fill out a petition following step 3 above, then you sign as their witness.

6. Mail in both petitions to NYC 9/11 Ballot Initiative, 1173A Second Avenue, Suite 155, New York, NY 10065.

7. Please print more copies of the petition and commit to having another 5 people do steps 1-5 and repeat the process to their friends and families.

8. Please act immediately to ensure our chances for success. If you act now, we can get this initiative into the Nov. 6th 2008 general election.
   

Instruction for Multiple Signatures

You can help this urgent cause by gathering multiple petition signatures. First, you may want to have an overview to show people. We have a 1 page document which you can see and print by clicking here. Below is an image of where people should sign.

Next, follow these simplesteps:

1. See our sample 3 signature box form here to understand how the petition form gets filled in.

2. Download our instructions by right-clicking here and choosing "Save As" to download it to your computer. This describes a few easy ways to get people to sign the petition.

3. Download our blank form with 3 signature boxes by right-clicking here and choosing "Save As" to download it to your computer. After getting 3 signatures, fill in your signature under Statement of Witness, then mail the form to the address on page 3 of the petition.

Note: Many people are collecting petition signatures from people they know in their neighborhood or workplace. This can easily be done alone. We also need volunteers to go to key locations throughout the 5 boroughs. This is best done in small teams that can set goals and make this campaign a success. To be part of this approach, either sign into our Guest Book or send an email and include your name, borough, and phone number(s).

* A notary public can also be a witness.
