The following requirements shall be observed in the signing and preparation of nomination petitions:
1. A signer may sign nomination petitions for more than one candidate for the same office, and the signature is not invalid solely because the signer signed nomination petitions for one or more other candidates for the office.
2. Each signer shall add the signer's residence, with street and number.
3. All signers, for all nominations, of each separate part of a nomination petition, shall reside in the appropriate ward, city, county, school district, or legislative or other district as required by section 45.1.

Nomination petitions which are not securely fastened together shall be returned to the candidate or the candidate's designee without examination. The state commissioner shall prescribe by rule the acceptable methods for binding nomination petitions.
5. Only one candidate shall be petitioned for or nominated in the same nomination petition, except for the offices of governor and lieutenant governor, and president and vice president.
