Summary

The bill rewrites sections of the Revised Code to replace the current partisan primary system with a top‑three primary, where the three vote‑getters advance to the general election. The general election would then use a consensus‑choice method, allowing voters to rank candidates. It applies to congressional, state and local races and redefines many election‑related terms.
