While signing a petition, you have the option to leave a public comment or « Reason for signing » to express why you decided to support the campaign. Comments can also be added in the « News & Discussion » page after you have already registered your signature on the petition.
To post a comment while signing, please follow the steps below:
Log into your Campoal account.
Locate the petition you want to sign.
On the right side you will see an empty box below your name that says « I’m signing because… (optional). » This is where you can leave your comment.
Once you have finished, just press the « Sign this petition » button. That’s it!
