constitutional amendment

Voters passed an citizen-led amendment to guarantee rights to abortion and other “reproductive decisions” in their state constitution.

Buckeye State voters will decide whether abortion will be a constitutionally protected right and also whether to legalize marijuana sales.

HIGHLAND COUNTY, Ohio—Ohioans voted on Aug. 8 to reject stricter requirements for citizen-initiated amendments to the state’s constitution in a move that could bode well for activists’ efforts to codify abortion rights later this year.

Issue 1, if passed on Tuesday, would make it more difficult for voters to amend the Ohio Constitution by raising the threshold to pass an amendment from a simple majority to 60 percent of voters.
