SB 279 Ohio Senate · 135th Legislature, First Special Session

No title provided

This bill modifies election procedures to allow major political parties to submit their presidential and vice-presidential candidate certifications to the Secretary of State by the deadline using various reliable methods, including email and fax. It applies retroactively to the current election cycle to ensure candidates nominated at national conventions are not accidentally excluded from the ballot due to timing issues. The legislation also extends the deadline for certifying official ballot forms to align with the new submission rules.
