(2)  Place the completed petition(s) in the City of Camden Drop Box in front of Camden City Hall; or

(3)  In-person delivery of the completed petition(s) to the Municipal Clerk’s Office.  For in-person delivery, the person making the delivery is to advise Camden City Hall Security of the need for an in-person delivery to the Clerk’s Office.  At that point, Camden City Hall Security will contact the Clerk’s Office so that staff from the Clerk’s Office can come to the front of Camden City Hall and receive the petition(s).  Camden City Hall Security are currently implementing COVID-19 screenings as recommended by the CDC and public health officials.
