The Republican-dominated board, lead by Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, unanimously voted that the proposed amendment contained just single amendment and not multiple.
Early in-person voting at the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections in Cleveland and in Ohio has been underway since Tuesday.COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio Ballot Board on Monday advanced a proposed constitutional amendment that would prohibit Ohio voter laws that critics say are onerous.
But with the Ballot Board approval, backers can disperse across the state with clipboards. They must get roughly 413,000 signatures from registered Ohio voters – the next step to getting on the ballot. The amendment would declare voting is a “fundamental right,” triggering heightened judicial scrutiny of laws that infringe on it. It would enshrine voting hours, early voting, automatic voter registration via the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, online voter registration, same-day voter registration, loosening identification requirements to vote, and similar policy items.
During the Ballot Board meeting, Jyoti Jasrasaria, a lawyer for the Elias Law Group in Washington, which is working with the backers, said thea similar proposed amendment was one issue in a 6-1 ruling. LaRose at the time had split it into four parts.
