What is on the ballot?
**** STATEWIDE REFERENDUM ****
Ohioans will go to the polls on Tuesday, August 8. This election is unusual. There is a single item on the ballot: Issue 1 “Elevating the Standards to Qualify for an Initiated Constitutional Amendment and to Pass a Constitutional Amendment.” As the official ballot language shows:
Voting “Yes” on Issue 1 means that future constitutional amendments will need at least 60 percent of votes to pass, while voting “No” keeps the process as it is today: a simple majority, or 50 percent plus 1.
Make your voice heard!
