The City of Akron appeals from the decision of the District Court holding unconstitutional the requirement in Akron's City Charter § 28(1) and Ohio Revised Code § 731.02, that a candidate for City council be a resident of Akron for one year. The further requirement that candidates representing a ward in the city reside for one year in the ward was also found unconstitutional.
