Petitions need to be addressed to the Legislative Assembly of Victoria.

·

A petition to be presented in the Legislative Assembly must only be addressed to the Assembly and not to the Legislative Council as well.

·

A brief paragraph(s) must be included giving the reasons for the petition and should end with the action asked for. If a petition is more than one sheet long, each page must be headed with these details.

·

The details should be photocopied or printed on each sheet before it is signed.  Wording pasted to a page of signatures is not allowed.

·

The signatures must be numbered on each page, starting with number 1 for the first signature on every sheet.

·

No letters, affidavits or other documents (other than translations) can be attached or incorporated on the front of a petition.

·

The back of each petition sheet should be left blank (other than a continuation of signatures from the front).
