(2) All comments filed in writing will be received and kept on file with the
designated election official for the political subdivision submitting to its eligible
electors the ballot issue to which the comments pertain. However, only those
comments that are filed by persons eligible to vote in the political subdivision
submitting the ballot issue to its electors must be summarized in the ballot issue

election records.

(3) To be summarized in the ballot issue notice, the comments shall address
a specific ballot issue and shall include a signature and an address where the
signor is registered to vote and shall be filed with the designated election official
for the political subdivision and not the county clerk and recorder of the county in
which the political subdivision is located unless the issue is a county issue for which
the county clerk and recorder is the designated election official.

(4) Since section 20 (3)(b)(v) of article X of the state constitution requires
that comments pertaining to a ballot issue be filed by forty-five days before the
election and since such day is always a Saturday, all comments shall be filed by
noon on the Friday before the forty-fifth day before the election.
