From the Times Reporter:
Republicans who control the Ohio Senate want to get rid of a disputed weeklong period during which new voters can register and then immediately cast a ballot, a top official said Monday.
Republicans planned to file a bill Tuesday that would require people choosing to vote early to register at least 30 days before they cast their ballot, Senate GOP Chief of Staff Matt Schuler said. For instance, someone who wished to vote on the first day of early voting — 35 days before Election Day — would then have to register to vote at least 65 days before the election.
The requirement that voters who vote on Election Day be registered at least 30 days before Election Day would not be changed.
