Syllabus

Mandamus—Writ sought to compel board of elections to declare that relator is a resident of Delaware County for election purposes, maintain relator's name on poll books as a properly registered voter, maintain relator's name as a candidate on the May 5, 2026 primary-election ballot, and retract and rescind any referrals to county prosecutor and secretary of state for investigation of voter fraud—Relator's request for order compelling board to retract or rescind any referrals for investigation of voter fraud dismissed because it is a request for injunctive relief rather than a proper request for mandamus relief—Writ denied as to relator's remaining mandamus claims because board did not abuse its discretion or act in clear disregard of applicable law—Writ dismissed in part and denied in part.
