Ohio Voters with Punctuation Mark Names

In March we identified the following voters whose names consist of only punctuation marks. They remain in the statewide voter registration database as of 6/11/22.

As a best practice, we believe that names in the voter registration database should be full formal names that exactly match names in the driver license/BMV database or comparable source for legal formal names. Nicknames should not be allowed lest duplicate registrations such as Bob Smith, Rob Smith, Robert Smith, Bobby Smith, ect. might get missed in screens for duplicates. We encourage the SoS to issue a directive to this effect.
