Petition format

1. The nomination petition for an active member on the board must include the signatures of at least one hundred active eligible voters. 2. The nomination petition must include the following statement: "We, the petitioners, who are members of the North Dakota Public Employees Retirement System, nominate _______________ for election to the North Dakota Public Employees Retirement System board." 3. The nomination petition must include a certification by the candidate, as follows: "I accept the nomination and if elected will fulfill the responsibilities as a member of the North Dakota Public Employees Retirement System board." 4. If there is not room for the required signatures on a single nomination petition, additional petitions may be used.

All nomination petitions used must be certified and signed by the nominee when submitted to the North Dakota public employees retirement system office.
