For purposes of verifying signatures on any initiative,
referendum, recall, nomination, or other election petition or paper,
the elections official shall determine that the residence address on
the petition or paper is the same as the residence address on the
affidavit of registration.  If the addresses are different, or if the
petition or paper does not specify the residence address, or, in the
case of an initiative or referendum petition, if the information
specified in Section 9020 is not contained in the petition, the
affected signature shall not be counted as valid.
   Any signature invalidated pursuant to this section shall not
affect the validity of other valid signatures on the particular
petition or paper.
