Ohio voters will decide on a citizen-initiated constitutional amendment related to reproductive decisions, including abortion, in Nov. 2023. This is the first and only statewide abortion measure certified for the ballot in 2023. Two more are currently set for 2024.
On July 25, 2023, Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) announced that of the 710,131 signatures submitted by the campaigns supporting the initiative, 495,938 signatures were found to be valid. This met the valid signature requirement of 413,487 signatures and qualified the measure for the ballot.
