What constitutes a legal petition.

A legal petition must state the subject matter and contain valid signature. A valid signature is legible, and that of a person qualified to vote on the subject of the petition if it is a petition for the government to take some type of action or refrain from taking some type of action. Non-governmental petitions are sometime taken by interested parties, to bring forth objections and concerns. The number of legible valid signatures required by petitions to the government are governed by state laws, city ordinances and town bylaws. The exact requirements vary from state to state, and by the governmental entity that is being petitioned.
