AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Ohio's election laws and procedures:
This bill amends sections of the Ohio Revised Code related to voter identification, absent voting, special elections, and other aspects of election administration. Key provisions include:
- Eliminating August special elections except for U.S. House nominations, and allowing political subdivisions or taxing authorities to hold special elections in August if under fiscal emergency (Sections 3501.01, 3501.022).
- Modifying the requirements for voter identification, including requiring voters to provide photo ID at the polls and making changes to the types of acceptable ID (Sections 3505.18, 3505.181).
- Changing the deadlines and procedures for applying for and casting absent voter ballots, including reducing the number of days for returning an absent voter ballot after Election Day (Sections 3509.03, 3509.05, 3509.06, 3509.07).
- Allowing the Secretary of State to prescribe a uniform schedule for in-person early voting, reallocating the six hours of early voting previously required on the day before Election Day (Section 4).
- Repealing the provision that requires the governor to issue a commission to officials elected statewide after the results are certified by the President of the Senate (Sections 107.07, 3505.34).
The bill also makes some technical and conforming changes throughout the Revised Code sections related to elections.
