Robert Parcher's letter
May 7, 1999
Ms. Leslie Martinez-Botet
P.O. Box 403843
Miami Beach, Florida 33140
Dear Ms. Botet:
Pursuant to our conversation on Tuesday, May 4th, I am following up on your first five (5)
questions:
1) Does each page of the petition need to be notorized? The answer is No.
2) Are petitions in Spanish accceptable? No. {It is the recommendation of this
office that if you wish to have Spanish language, it should be included with
the English language petition).
3) Who pays the 10 cents required by Miami-Dade County Election to verify
voters signatures? The City of Miami Beach is not obligated to pay the 10
cents. This is between the candidates and Miami-Dade County Elections.
4) Can a candidate collect petition signatures and submit his/her petition to the
City Clerk's office prior to qualifying? The candidate can collect signatures
prior to qualifying, however according to Miami Beach City Charter, Section
6.03 "....unless such person shall file with the City Clerk (petition) no later
than the second day for qualifying....".
5) Can a candidate qualify by paying the qualifying fee and submitting
petitions? The answer is No.
If you have additional questions, please give me a call.
Sincerely,
~f~
Robert Parcher,
City Clerk
