State ex rel. Hicks v. Clermont Cty. Bd. of Elections

2026-0231

Elections—Mandamus—Writ sought to compel board of elections to hold hearing under R.C. 3513.05—Relator failed to establish a clear legal right to a mandatory hearing or board’s corresponding clear legal duty to hold such a hearing because his request did not constitute a valid protest under R.C. 3513.05—A hearing on relator’s request would be in vain as it would not result in candidate’s removal from primary-election ballot—Writ denied.

State ex rel. Spencer v. Stark Cty. Bd. of Elections

2026-0257

Elections—Prohibition—R.C. 3513.05—Writ sought to prevent board of elections from placing candidate on May 2026 primary-election ballot for Republican Party nomination for office of U.S. Representative for Sixth Ohio Congressional District—R.C. 3513.05 conveys that board of elections with whom a protest against candidacy is filed may consider whether candidate “has not fully complied with” R.C. Ch. 3513—Board of elections did not abuse its discretion or clearly disregard applicable law in denying protest against candidacy, because board correctly determined signature-validity issues involving candidate’s petition at protest hearing—Writ denied.
