• 2026 Ohio 993

Syllabus

Elections—Mandamus—Writ sought to compel board of elections to hold hearing under R.C. 3513.05—Relator failed to establish a clear legal right to a mandatory hearing or board's corresponding clear legal duty to hold such a hearing because his request did not constitute a valid protest under R.C. 3513.05—A hearing on relator's request would be in vain as it would not result in candidate's removal from primary-election ballot—Writ denied.
