A circuit court has ruled that Ohio's Bureau of Motor Vehicles may require proof of citizenship when handling voter registration. The decision lets the state enforce stricter documentation rules at BMV locations, a move supporters frame as protecting election integrity and critics warn could discourage eligible voters from registering. The case is part of a broader national fight over proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting.
