The Petition Administration Clarification Amendment Act of 2026 amends the District of Columbia Election Code of 1955 to enhance the integrity of candidate nomination and initiative, referendum, and recall petitions. The bill requires that candidate nomination petition affidavits explicitly state that the circulator has not altered any signer information after the signer has affixed their signature. It also prohibits anyone from altering signer information provided by the petition signer, except in cases where the signer requests assistance before signing. Similar provisions are established for initiative, referendum, and recall petitions.

Key amendments include the addition of new subsections that clarify the responsibilities of circulators and the limitations on altering signer information. Specifically, it prohibits any person other than the petition signer from writing, altering, correcting, or clarifying information on the petition unless assistance is requested prior to signing. The use of correction tape or fluid is also banned. These changes aim to ensure the accuracy and authenticity of signatures on petitions, thereby strengthening the electoral process in the District of Columbia.
