Ballot Initiatives

Ohio Gov. DeWine signed legislation that would ban foreign donations to statewide ballot issues. But is it, as Democrats contend, a solution in search of a problem?

A Republican effort to ban contributions from foreign nationals to ballot issue campaigns in Ohio is being pushed before a constitutional amendment on redistricting likely comes before voters this fall.

Lawmakers made a change to the resolution that raises the bar for constitutional amendments to include legislative initiatives.

More than 100 organizations — including faith groups, unions, and some conservative organizations — are pushing back on a bill that would require citizen-led constitutional amendments to have a supermajority at the ballot box.

The proposal requiring a 60% majority for a constitutional amendment would only apply to citizen-led ballot initiatives, and not to legislature-led amendments.
