Summary
The bill changes Ohio election paperwork so candidates must disclose any names used in the past five years on their declaration of candidacy and petition forms. It also eliminates the rule that those former names appear on the printed ballot. The change aims to streamline ballot presentation while still keeping a record of name changes for election officials.
