Ohio Admin. Code 901:13-3-05 - Election challenge (successor elections)
A challenge of an election at the time and place of the
official election shall cause the ballots and registration records to be placed
in the office of the local county sheriff
under seal by the designated agent of the Ohio soil and water conservation
commission conducting the election and until such commission or its executive
officer authorizes the removal of such seal. Such commission or its executive
officer shall investigate the validity of the appeal as represented by the
sealed records and declare the appeal valid or invalid. A valid appeal finding
shall give cause for such commission to conduct another election of successors.
An invalid appeal finding shall cause such commission to certify the election
as being valid. A discrepancy between the number of ballots cast and the number
of registered voters shall not constitute grounds for an invalid election
except where such difference is sufficient to potentially alter the
certification of the elected candidate or candidates.
