(R.C. 3513.05) For purposes of signing or circulating a petition of candidacy for party nomination or election, an elector is considered to be a member of a political party if the elector voted in that party's primary election within the preceding two calendar years, or if the elector did not vote in any other party's primary election within the preceding two calendar years. (R.C. 3513.05) A circulator may not sign the same petition paper that he or she is circulating; a circulator may, however, sign a petition paper being circulated for the same candidacy by a different circulator.

(R.C. 3513.05) An elector who voted in a party primary in 2019 or 2020 is not qualified to sign the petition of a candidate of the opposite party; however, a voter who did not vote in a party primary in 2019 or 2020 may sign candidacy petitions of either party. Signature of candidate on his own nominating petition could not be included in determining whether such petition contained minimum number of signatures required by law. State ex rel. Kucinich v. Duffy (1970) A petition shall consist of separate petition papers, each of which shall contain signatures of electors of only one county. Petitions or separate petition papers containing signatures of electors of more than one county shall not thereby be declared invalid. In case petitions or separate petition papers containing signatures of electors of more than one county are filed, the board shall determine the

county from which the majority of signatures came, and only signatures from such county shall be counted. Signatures from any other county shall be invalid.
