Brown Proposes Voters Register At Primary Time
Secretary of State Ted Brown proposes that Ohio counties with no voter registration conduct their first general registration alongside the 1974 primary. The amendment aims to ease registration and cut initial costs, allowing boards of elections to hold three days of general registration or register at the May primary. Brown also pushes a campaign expense reform bill with strict reporting and a bipartisan enforcement commission.
