Issue One – a proposal that would raise the threshold to make changes to the state constitution from 50 percent to 60 percent.
The proposal means that pro-choice supporters that gather signatures to enshrine abortion rights in the Ohio Constitution would need 60% public approval instead of a simple majority.
Other possible constitutional amendments that could be affected include the efforts to legalize recreational marijuana, reforming Ohio’s redistricting system, minimum wage increase, and vaccine mandates limitations.
