§ 31-4106 — FILING OF PETITION

The petition shall be filed with the county clerk and recorder of all counties in which the signers on the petition are located. If the petition is filed with more than one (1) county clerk and recorder each petition shall state the number of signing petitioners and the name of the county where the greater number of petitioners reside. Upon the filing of the petition or petitions the county clerk and recorder shall examine the petition and certify whether the required number of petitioners have signed the petition.
