Implement top-three primary, consensus general election system

Summary

The bill replaces Ohio’s current partisan primary with a single primary in which the three candidates receiving the most votes move on to the general election. The general election winner is determined by a consensus rule that selects the candidate with the smallest margin of loss against each opponent. The changes affect voters, candidates, political parties, and election officials by redefining ballot design, nomination petitions, vote tabulation, and vacancy‑filling procedures.
