Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose's (R) office has changed declaration forms to help prevent transgender candidates from being disqualified for not disclosing their "deadname."
The change came after Vanessa Joy, a transgender woman, was disqualified from running as a Democratic candidate for Ohio’s House District 50 after failing to list all legal names used within the prior five years on her signature petition, WEWS-TV reported.
Dead names refer to the former names of transgender people.
