Ohio voters will decide on a constitutional amendment related to voter identification requirements, including photo ID requirements for in-person voting, on Nov. 3, 2026.
The amendment, Senate Joint Resolution 10 (SJR 10), was introduced by Sen. Jane Timken (R-29) and Sen. Theresa Gavarone (R-2). It passed the Senate by 22-9 on June 3, 2026, with 22 Republicans voting for the measure, and eight Democrats and one Republican voting against it. It passed the House by 61-27 on June 10, 2026, with 61 Republicans voting for it and 27 Democrats voting against it.
Ohio state law already requires voters to present photo ID while voting, with accepted forms of ID including a valid Ohio driver's license or ID card, U.S. passport, and U.S. military ID. The amendment would enshrine this requirement in the state constitution.
