STATE, EX REL. ESCH, v. LAKE CTY. BD. OF ELECTIONS

No. 90-2142.

61 Ohio St.3d 595 (1991)

THE STATE, EX REL. ESCH, APPELLEE, v. LAKE COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS, APPELLANT.

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided August 28, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Reminger & Reminger and Nick C. Tomino, for appellee.

Steven C. LaTourette, prosecuting attorney, and Michael P. Brown, for appellant.


Per Curiam.

We are asked to decide in this appeal if the title requirement in R.C. 731.31 must be met with strict compliance. For the reasons that follow, we hold that it must and, therefore, that the board of elections has a clear duty to reject the instant noncomplying petition. Moreover, because the board does not argue that Esch has a plain and adequate remedy at law, we further hold that the court of appeals properly granted Esch a writ of mandamus.
