Ohio HB233 revises election law to require citizenship verification for voters.

Ohio HB233 amends election law to mandate the verification of an elector's citizenship before voting. The Secretary of State will compare voter registration records with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Social Security Administration data to identify potential non-citizens. If discrepancies are found, the Secretary of State will notify the affected boards of elections. Voters must provide proof of citizenship to the board of elections to cast a regular ballot. If unable to provide proof, they may vote by provisional ballot.
