   The petition will not be ready to sign until the formal application has been submitted and found to be "legally sufficient" by elections officials and/or a judge. No online petitions will be used for this official effort. The only way a legally recognized petition can be signed is in person, in the county where you live.  

  We will need at least 100 application sponsors. They must have been registered to vote in the 2018 election and be currently registered to vote in, and be a resident of, Georgia.

Georgia law mandates we collect signatures equal to 15% of the number of people registered to vote in the 2018 election. That amounts to roughly 1,000,000 signatures.

The signer must be in the presence of the person circulating the petition. The person circulating the petition will sign their own name next to the signer’s information to signify they were given permission to complete the petition on the signer’s behalf. The person circulating the petition may not falsify these signatures, under threat of misdemeanor prosecution. 

 Yes, there is an affidavit you can fill out to formally remove your name from the petition.
