The clerk shall accept only nomination petitions which conform with the forms provided and maintained by the clerk, and which, considered together, contain the required number of valid signatures for candidates having those qualifications required for the respective elective city offices by this charter. All candidates shall comply with the filing requirements of MCL 168.558, as amended. The clerk shall, forthwith after filing of a petition, notify in writing any candidate whose petition is then found not to meet the requirements of this section, but the failure to so notify any candidate shall in no way prevent a final determination that the petition does not meet such requirements. Within three (3) business days after the last date of filing petitions, the clerk shall make the final determinations as to the validity and sufficiency of each nomination petition and whether or not the candidate has the qualifications required for his or her respective elective city offices by the charter. The clerk shall write his or her determinations thereof on the face of the petition and shall notify in writing the candidate whose name appears thereon of the determinations. Such notice to any candidate whose petitions are so found to be invalid or insufficient shall be allowed to file supplementary or replacement petitions before four o’clock in the afternoon on the sixth business day after the last date for filling original petitions. The names of the candidates for the respective elective city offices who file valid and sufficient nomination petitions, shall be certified by the clerk to the election commission, to be placed upon the ballot for the next subsequent regular city election or the next special election for the filling of vacancies in office, as the case may be.
