Ohio Admin. Code 4117-5-10 - Post-election objections; determination of challenges
(A) Within ten days after service of the
tally of ballots, any party may file with the board objections relating to the
conduct of the election or conduct affecting the results of the election. Such
objections shall contain a brief statement of the reasons therefor and shall be
accompanied by data
documentation, including but not limited to
affidavits, in support of the allegations in the objections. Objections without
supporting data
documentation may be dismissed by the board. Responses
to any post-election objections may be filed with the board within ten days
after service of the objections.
(B) If post-election objections are filed or
if challenged ballots are sufficient in number to affect the results of the
election, the board shall investigate such objections or challenges. Position
statements on challenged ballots must be filed within ten days of the service
of the tally of ballots. The board shall issue a directive resolving relevant
issues based upon the investigation; provided, however, that disputed issues of
material fact may be determined upon an
evidential
a hearing. The board may
dismiss the post-election objections or challenges, direct the counting of some
or all of the challenged ballots, or where warranted, set aside the previous
election and direct another election. Should another election be directed by
the board, it shall be conducted pursuant to the procedures set forth in
Chapter 4117-5 of the Administrative Code. Only employees who were eligible to
vote in the first election and who remain eligible on the date of the rerun
election shall be eligible to vote in the rerun election, unless the board
directs otherwise.
(C) Objections
shall not be accepted for filing with the board unless they contain proof of
service pursuant to paragraph (B) of rule 4117-1-02 of the Administrative Code.
