State ex rel. Maumee v. Lucas Cty. Bd. of Elections

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court held that Ohio Revised Code 705.92 does not apply to the home‑rule city of Maumee because the city never adopted the statute under R.C. 705.03, granting a writ of prohibition to stop the Board of Elections from placing recall questions on the ballot and deeming the related mandamus request moot. The Court also clarified that the Maumee charter does not forbid recall as a method of removal, but it does not incorporate the statutory recall procedure.
