BATTAGLIA, Judge.

The issue in this election law case is whether the number of signatures supporting a petition for referendum of a proposed piece of municipal legislation can be supplemented by another set, filed three days later, before the deadline for approval of signatures has expired. The petition also raises the issue, once again, of whether "inactive" voters must be counted in the total number of qualified voters.
