prevented from voting for such candidates or on an issue as the elector intends to do; or mark a ballot
of an elector except as authorized by section 3505.24 of the Revised Code; or hand a marked ballot
to an elector to vote, with intent to ascertain how the elector voted; or furnish a ballot to an elector
who cannot read, knowingly informing the elector that it contains a name different from the one that
is printed or written thereon, to induce the elector to vote contrary to the elector's intentions; or

vote or voting; or knowingly print or distribute a ballot contrary to law.


Whoever violates this section is guilty of a felony of the fifth degree.
