Ohio

You can object to the nomination of the delegates but there appears to be no way to object otherwise

There is no provision in Ohio law for challenging the certification of the nominees of major political parties for president and vice president. Thus, there is no eligibility determination.

Sincerely,

Sally E. Warren

Thank you for your email regarding the requirements for becoming an elected public official in Ohio. I have attached a PDF version of our 2006, 2008, and 2009 Candidate Guide. The 2006 election was for state wide office elections, 2008 was for federal elections, and 2009 is primarily local offices. In the interest of providing you with the most current information, I omitted the 2007 Guide as it mirrors the 2009 Guide. Inside each guide, the requirements for different local, state, and federal offices are listed. Next to each requirement is the section of the Ohio Revised Code, Ohio Constitution or US Constitution that pertains. The following link will provide you with a complete, searchable copy of the ORC http://codes.ohio.gov/orc The Ohio Constitution can be found athttp://www.legislature.state.oh.us/constitution.cfm The US Constitution can be found athttp://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.overview.html

I hope this information is useful and if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me directly.

Sincerely,

Timothy M. Quinn
