This would be a great place to be on Saturday, the 29th of July, 2023. Help people learn about this important issue and inspire them to Vote Yes on August 8th, 2023. On Aug. 8, voters can decide on a measure that proposes significant changes to the constitutional amendment process. If passed, the measure would require a 60% majority to approve a new constitutional amendment instead of the current 50% plus one. Additionally, citizens who want to place an amendment on the ballot would need to collect signatures from at least 5% of voters from the last gubernatorial election in all 88 counties, which is an increase from the current requirement of 44 counties. The measure would also eliminate the 10-day cure period that allows citizens to replace any signatures that are deemed faulty by the secretary of state’s office. It will be interesting to see whether voters will support these changes or not.

There’s an election on August 8th, 2023, in Ohio. It’s not too far away, so it’s important to start thinking about what you can do to get involved. Many people aren’t aware of the election, so it’s up to us to spread the word and encourage others to participate. Whether it’s volunteering to help with campaigns, making sure your friends and family are registered to vote, or simply educating yourself on the issues and candidates, every little bit helps. So let’s make a difference and help others learn about this important event!
