Section 1. That section 3513.04 of the Revised

divisions (A) and (B) of section 3513.10 of the Revised Code.
The secretary of state shall not accept for filing the
declaration of candidacy of a candidate for party nomination to
the office of governor unless the declaration of candidacy also
shows a joint candidate for the same party's nomination to the

declaration of candidacy of a candidate for party nomination to
the office of lieutenant governor unless the declaration of
candidacy also shows a joint candidate for the same party's
nomination to the office of governor, and shall not accept for
filing a declaration of candidacy that shows a candidate for
party nomination to the office of governor or lieutenant governor
who has already been shown as a candidate for party nomination to
the office of governor or lieutenant governor on a declaration of
candidacy previously filed and accepted for the same primary
