Ohio is one of the states where citizens can propose laws and constitutional amendments through the initiative process.
Supporters must gather a required number of valid voter signatures and meet strict rules before an issue can appear on the ballot. The Ohio Ballot Board and Secretary of State oversee parts of the process.

Stay Engaged Respectfully
