Major Pending Election Cases
A long-standing and signature project of Election Law at Ohio State is Major Pending Election Cases. Since 2004, Major Pending Election Cases has been a valued resource for accessible case summaries, comprehensive court filings, and expert commentary about important election law cases from around the nation. In September 2020, the project was relaunched on its own website that improved access to the election law cases that we are tracking.
