what is issue 1 in ohio

Issue 1 in Ohio is a proposed constitutional amendment that would raise the standards to qualify for an initiated constitutional amendment and to pass a constitutional amendment. It would make it harder to amend the Ohio Constitution by raising the threshold for constitutional amendments to 60% of the vote. The proposal was put forward by Republican state legislators, and it was defeated in a special election held in August 2023. However, another Issue 1 will be decided by Ohio voters in November 2023.
