	Opinion 96-059
		The board of elections refused to place that person's name on the ballot, arguing that because the term of office of county auditor was four years and the last election for that position had been held in 1930, a successor to that office could not be elected until the 1934 general election.
		It is evident, therefore, that in the context of the election of a successor to the office of municipal court judge, the "first general election for the office which is vacant" is the first general election at which a municipal court judge may be elected, as determined by Ohio Const.
		At the general election to be held on November 2, 1993, the electors of District 1 shall elect an additional judge to serve the unexpired term created by the resignation of Judge Donnellon.

		The 1997 election was also notable for the small ideological gap between the main parties.

		Turnout in 1997 was low because the result was widely anticipated and because relatively few saw important policy differences between the parties, not because British democracy is in crisis.
