A general meeting of residents of an apartment building can solve many issues. The Housing Code gives owners great powers. But it is not always possible to bring tenants together. The legislation allows the general meeting to be held in absentia. In fact, this means collecting signatures. Signatures are also needed under various appeals, collective letters. Nomination of candidates for deputies in single-mandate constituencies also involves the collection of signatures.

Instructions
Step 1
To collect signatures from residents of your home, you need to prepare signature sheets. It is quite possible that samples of some of them are in the local council of deputies, the territorial election commission or the city administration. It all depends on the reason for which you intend to collect signatures. In local government bodies, there may be forms of signature lists not only for the referendum. If the administration is serious about solving communal problems, then it also develops a set of documentation, which can only be taken.
Step 2
Signature lists can be made by yourself. It is important that they contain the necessary information about the tenants. This information includes the last name, first name and patronymic, date of birth, passport data, registration address, landline or cell phone number. If one or more apartment owners live in other places, but are going to participate in solving the problem you raised, you must indicate in the subscription list the basis on which they have the right to sign. This basis can be data on the document on the ownership. To collect signatures in support of a referendum or a candidate for deputy, it is enough to indicate the registration address. In this case, signatures can only be put by voters residing in the territory of the district in which the candidate is running.
Step 3
Compose the text of the appeal or decision of the general meeting to be signed. The text should not be very long and understandable. If necessary, refer to other documents - legislative acts, decisions of local authorities. Articles of agreement with the management company, etc. If necessary, and at the same time the text is short enough, you can place it at the top of each signature sheet. In other cases, number and sew the sheets.
Step 4
Determine who will collect signatures. Signature lists for the nomination of candidates for deputies are usually collected by members of election headquarters or initiative groups living in your house or somewhere nearby. Another thing is the decision of the general meeting of homeowners. In this case, make sure that the signature collector is a legitimate person. An absentee ballot must be preceded by an in-person general meeting, at which it is necessary to select a person authorized to represent the interests of residents in relations with utilities or municipal authorities. This can be the chairman of the HOA or the Council of the House. You can also choose the elders on the entrance and on the floor. They can collect signatures on the territory entrusted to them.
Step 5
Make sure that the signature sheets are filled in correctly. There should be no mistakes in design and data recorded from memory or from hearsay. If we are talking about painting the entrance, one or two incorrectly filled cells will not play a special role, but a candidate for deputy may be deprived of the opportunity to run due to incorrectly drawn up signature lists.
