Bill > SB260

This bill modernizes Ohio's voter registration process, primarily focusing on how voters can change or establish their political party affiliation. Key provisions include allowing voters to change their party affiliation through the voter registration process, either by submitting a voter registration update form or by casting a ballot at a primary election. When registering to vote, individuals will now have clear options to select a political party, remain unaffiliated, or choose an issues-only ballot. The bill updates numerous sections of the Ohio Revised Code to reflect these changes, including modifying how party affiliation is determined, updating voter registration forms, and adjusting procedures for primaries and candidate nominations. The changes aim to provide more flexibility and clarity for voters in establishing and changing their political party status, while maintaining the integrity of the electoral process. The bill is designed to simplify voter registration, make the process more transparent, and give voters more control over their party affiliation.
