A coalition of voting-rights groups is vowing to fight on…after Ohio Attorney General, Dave Yost issues his second rejection of petition language it has submitted for a proposed constitutional amendment. Yost found the amendment’s title…“Ohio Voters Bill of Rights”…was highly misleading and misrepresentative of the measure’s contents, even as he acknowledged that his office had previously certified identical language. It certified a Nursing Facility Patients’ Bill of Rights in 2021 and another Ohio Voters Bill of Rights in 2014. The Ohio Voters Bill of Rights calls for enshrining the right for all Ohioans to vote safely and securely in the state constitution. The proposed amendment includes automatic voter registration, same-day voter registration and expanded early voting options and locations. The push for the amendment follows Ohio’s enactment last year of sweeping new election restrictions, including a strict photo ID requirement and shortened windows after Election Day for returning and curing ballots.
