Campaigns supporting or opposing Ohio Issue 1 have raised a combined $32.25 million. More than 80% of contributions for and against Issue 1 came from out-of-state donors. Issue 1, which is on a special election ballot for Aug. 8, 2023, would make three changes to the ballot measure process in Ohio, including increasing the voter approval threshold for new constitutional amendments to 60%, expanding the signature distribution requirement for citizen-initiated constitutional amendments, and eliminating the signature cure period for initiated amendments.
