  1. Issue 3Constitutional amendment

    Put photo ID rule in constitution

    Ohio already requires photo ID for in-person voting. This measure would move that rule from an ordinary law into the state constitution, like carving a school rule into stone.

    Yes vote
    Adding photo ID requirements for voting to the Ohio Constitution, with exceptions and rules for other voting methods set out in the amendment or state law.
    No vote
    Leaving Ohio's photo ID requirements in ordinary state law, where the legislature can change them.
