ORC 3517.14 codifies a 5-member Ohio Election Integrity Commission with multi-branch appointers (SoS + 4 legislative leaders) and 4-year staggered terms.

“There is in the office of the secretary of state the Ohio election integrity commission”

Ohio Const. Art. V § 1 sets age (18) and residency (state/county/township/ward 'such time as may be provided by law') and 30-day pre-election registration requirement in the constitution.

“Only a citizen of the United States, of the age of eighteen years”

Ohio Const. Art. V § 4 explicitly grants the General Assembly power to exclude felons from voting — constitutional framing. ORC 3599.39 codifies disfranchisement for repeat election-law felons. ORC 3503.21 cancels registration on felony conviction with restoration referenced via § 2961.01 (statutory restoration). Constitutional framing + statutory restoration → highest tier.

“shall have power to exclude from the privilege of voting”

ORC 3503.21 codifies cancellation triggers including felony conviction 'as provided in section 2961.01 of the Revised Code' — restoration framework is referenced (§ 2961.01) but not enumerated within this section. Statutory restoration path exists via reference but full procedure is in a section not surfaced here.

“registration of a registered elector shall be canceled upon”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: ORC 3517.1013 governs Levin-account gifts for voter ID activities; not the ID-at-polls requirement.

ORC 3505.18 codifies the ID requirement at polls: 'Ohio driver's license, state identification card, or interim identification form' — narrow enumeration in statute.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: ORC 3511.021 governs electronic UOCAVA application procedures; not free ID.

ORC 3505.182 codifies the provisional-ballot affirmation form including ID-options checklist, religious-objection alternative (§ 3505.19), and SSN-last-4 verification path.

“An Ohio driver's license or state identification card”

ORC 3505.181 establishes the provisional-ballot right but the surfaced text does not codify a clear appeal path for rejected ID/provisional ballots. § 3505.183 (in other candidate set) codifies post-poll testing/rejection but appeal mechanism is limited.

ORC 3503.28 codifies a duty to publish 'applicable deadlines for registering to vote' in the SoS info brochure — references that deadlines exist in statute (§ 3503.01's 30-day rule, not surfaced in this datapoint) without enumerating them here.

ORC 3503.19 exhaustively enumerates registration methods: in-person at designated agencies, BMV, schools, libraries, county treasurer, BOE branches; through another person; by mail to SoS or BOE; same-day at polling place for changes-of-address.

“may register or change their registration in person at any state”

ORC 3503.30 codifies a cure procedure for registration errors made by mistake: 'The board may correct all errors occurring in the registration of electors when it finds that the errors subject to correction were not of fraudulent intent.'

“qualified elector has caused himself to be registered in a precinct which was not”

ORC 3503.24 codifies the right of any qualified elector to challenge a registration with a hearing requirement before the BOE (≤10 days, written notice to challenged elector). Provides the elector a notice-and-opportunity-to-respond.

“challenge of the right to vote of any registered elector may be made by any qualified elector”

ORC 3503.15 codifies the statewide voter registration database with retention rules ('canceled voter registration records for not less than five years').

“Safeguards and components to ensure that the integrity, security”

ORC 3503.21 codifies the pre-cancellation notice path for inactivity-based cancellation: 'after having been mailed a confirmation notice' + failure to respond and vote within 4 consecutive years.

ORC 3503.13 codifies the public-records status of the voter registration database with enumerated exemptions (SSN, DL, telephone, e-mail, citizenship proof, confidential records). Partial security: access carve-outs codified, not breach-notification per se.

No matching sections in corpus (FTS returned 0 candidates) — concept not codified in this jurisdiction's election statute.

ORC 3505.24 codifies the right to receive assistance for blindness/disability/illiteracy: elector chooses any person to assist (with enumerated exclusions: employer, union officer, candidate), or may request assistance from two election officials of different parties.

“any elector who declares that the elector, by reason of blindness, disability, or illiteracy”

ORC 3505.24 expressly includes 'illiteracy' as a basis for assistance, with the same protective procedure (elector's choice + exclusions) as for blindness/disability.

ORC 3501.32 codifies polling-place hours: open at 6:30 a.m., close at 7:30 p.m. (with island-precinct exception). Statutory, not administrative.

“polls shall be opened by proclamation”

ORC 3511.05 codifies the identification-envelope format and return procedure for uniformed-services/overseas absentee ballots — UOCAVA mail-in framework only. The general mail-in/absentee framework (§ 3509.*) was not surfaced for this datapoint.

ORC 3511.16 codifies the pre-election notice and federal write-in absentee instructions for UOCAVA voters.

No matching sections in corpus (FTS returned 0 candidates) — concept not codified in this jurisdiction's election statute.

No matching sections in corpus (FTS returned 0 candidates) — concept not codified in this jurisdiction's election statute.

ORC 3505.181 codifies the right to cast a provisional ballot (with seven enumerated triggers) and the affirmation procedure. Comprehensive procedural framework.

“All of the following individuals shall be permitted to cast a provisional ballot”
