Ohio Supreme Court
State ex rel. Leneghan v. Delaware Cty. Bd. of Elections
May 3, 20262026 Ohio 1598
Summary
The Ohio Supreme Court denied State ex rel. Leneghan’s mandamus petition, holding that the Delaware County Board of Elections did not abuse its discretion in canceling her voter registration and removing her from the ballot, and dismissed the request to rescind referrals as an impermissible injunction. The court affirmed the board’s determination that Leneghan lacked a fixed habitation in Delaware County under R.C. 3503.02 and that mandamus cannot be used to prohibit official action.
