authorization.
Effective: August 22, 1995
Legislation: House Bill 99 - 121st General Assembly


If an elector applying for registration is already registered in another state or in another county
within this state, the elector shall declare this fact to the registration officer and shall sign an
authorization to cancel the previous registration on a form prescribed by the secretary of state.


The director of the board of elections shall mail all such authorizations to the board of elections or
comparable agency of the proper state and county. Upon the receipt of this authorization from the
forwarding county, the director of a board of elections in Ohio, upon a comparison of the elector's
signature with the elector's signature as it appears on the registration files, shall remove the elector's
registration from the files, and place it with the cancellation authorization in a separate file which
shall be kept for a period of two calendar years. The board shall notify the elector at the present
address as shown on the cancellation authorization that his registration has been canceled.
