State ex rel. Schultz v. Cuyahoga County Board of Elections

Ohio Supreme Court · Decided December 15, 1976 · Brown, Celebrezze, Corrigan, Herbert, Neníl, Stephenson, Stern

48 Ohio St. 2d 173; 357 N.E.2d 1079; 2 Ohio Op. 3d 372; 1976 Ohio LEXIS 729

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The referendum petition submitted by relators does not indicate anywhere that one of the paragraphs included in the title of the resolution, to be voted on was- hot adopted by the Olmsted Township Board of Trustees. It is apparent, therefore, that the: referendum petition does not fairly and accurately present the issues sought to be submitted to the electorate. Markus v. Bd. of Elections (1970), 22 Ohio St. 2d 197.
