Confused About Issue 1 and the Redistricting Process?

We get it - there is a lot of conflicting information out there about Issue 1 and what gerrymandering is. How can a voter separate fact from fiction? Start by reviewing these documents:

AMENDMENT LANGUAGE: Read the proposed amendment language. as drafted by a citizen-led group and certified by the Ohio Attorney General and the Ohio Ballot Board If passed, this is the ACTUAL language that will appear in the Ohio Constitution.

OHIO BALLOT BOARD LANGUAGE: Read the ballot language, which was approved 3-2 along party lines. This language will appear on the ballot and reflects the Ohio Ballot Board's summary of the amendment.

LWV OHIO SUMMARY: Consider the summary amendment language offered by the League of Women Voters of Ohio, which was drafted by a constitutional scholar.
