§ 3505.07Separate ballots for candidates, question, or issue

(A) If the board of elections, by a unanimous vote of its members, or if the secretary of state, in the
secretary of state's sole discretion, finds it impracticable to place the names of candidates for any
office of a minor political subdivision in the county or the wording of any question or issue to be
voted upon in such minor political subdivision on the ballots under sections 3505.01 to 3505.09 of
the Revised Code, then such board may, or at the direction of the secretary of state shall, provide
separate ballots for the candidates, question, or issue.


(B) If the secretary of state, in the secretary of state's sole discretion, determines that it is
impracticable to place the names of candidates for any office or the wording for any question or
issue to be voted upon on the ballot when the candidates, question, issue, or wording for the
question or issue was ordered onto the ballot by a court of competent jurisdiction and the ballots
have been printed prior to the court order, the board of elections, at the direction of the secretary of
state, shall provide separate ballots for the candidates, question, or issue.


(C) All separate ballots provided for in this section shall conform in quality of paper, style of
printing, form of ballot, arrangement of names, and in all other ways, in so far as practicable, with
the provisions relating to the printing of the general official ballot.
