S.B. No. 204 Summary

• Requires uncontested races (offices where the number of candidates equals the number of positions to be elected) to appear at the end of election ballots rather than in standard order.

• Applies the requirement to office type ballots (general elections with partisan candidates), nonpartisan ballots (judicial and education board elections), and primary election ballots.

• Maintains the standard office ordering prescribed by the Secretary of State for contested races, with uncontested races listed after all contested positions in the prescribed order.

• Amends sections 3505.03, 3505.04, and 3513.13 of the Ohio Revised Code governing ballot design and printing.
