Syllabus

Mandamus—Writ of mandamus sought to compel board of elections to place a proposed charter amendment on the ballot for the November 2018 ballot—Article XVIII, Sections 8 and 9 of the Ohio Constitution require a municipal legislative authority to submit a proposed charter amendment to the electors by ordinance—Because city council did not enact an ordinance submitting the proposed amendment to the board of elections, relators did not have a clear legal right to have the board of elections place the proposed amendment on the ballot—Writ denied.
