Regards former name on declaration of candidacy, petition, ballot

Summary

The bill changes Ohio election forms so that candidates must disclose any names they used in the past five years on their declaration of candidacy and petition papers. It also eliminates the current rule that those former names appear on the printed ballot. The change aims to keep voter‑facing ballots simpler while still preserving a record of name changes for election officials.
