Ohio Senate Passes Bill Moving Certification Deadline to 74 Days Before the General Election

On May 28, the Ohio Senate passed a bill that moves the deadline for a qualified party to certify its national ticket from 90 days before the general election, to 74 days before.  If the bill becomes law, the deadline will be August 23.

UPDATE:  the bill is HB 271.  Here is the text.  It applies only to the 2024 election.  It also outlaws contributions to initiative campaigns from foreigners, something the Ohio Republican legislators strongly favor.

Other bills relating to the deadline for certification of national tickets have also been introduced in the special session:

1. SB 279, only relates to the deadline, and only applies to the 2024 election

2. SB 280, only relates to the deadline, moves the deadline permanently to 60 days before the general election (early September).

3. HB 2, only relates to the deadline, applies only to 2024, moves it to 65 days before the general election.
