Ohio
My vote power: Above average

What does this measure do?

The Ohio constitution would require a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license, passport, or military ID, to vote in person, and ID details to vote by mail. You would need one of those IDs to vote; the law could allow another way for people with a religious objection to photos.

A YES vote means

Photo ID rules go into the Ohio constitution. In-person voters must show an approved photo ID, and mail voters must give photo ID details or a signature plus one other ID number.

A NO vote means

No photo ID rule is added to the constitution. Ohio's current voter ID law, which lawmakers can change at any time, stays in place.

No financial records found for this ballot measure.
