The bill amends section 3503.01 of the Revised Code to clarify that only natural persons have the right to vote in Ohio. The language changes include replacing "Every citizen" with "Only a citizen" and specifying that a voter must be "a natural person" of at least eighteen years of age. This amendment aims to reinforce the definition of eligible voters by emphasizing that voting rights are limited to individuals who are natural persons.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions regarding the assignment of voters in precincts that are partially included within election districts. It allows the board of elections to assign electors to the nearest precinct for voting purposes and mandates that voters be notified of their polling place at least ten days before an election. The existing section 3503.01 is repealed, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous voting qualifications outlined in that section.
