Ohio Voters Push for Independent Redistricting Commission

Citizens Not Politicians submits over 731,000 signatures to qualify amendment for November ballot, aiming to eliminate gerrymandering.

The proposed amendment would establish a 15-member Ohio Citizens Redistricting Commission to draw district maps.
Current and former politicians, lobbyists, and political party officials would be barred from the commission.
The initiative has bipartisan support and aims to ensure fair, transparent, and impartial redistricting.
Signatures are being verified by the Ohio Secretary of State; over 413,000 valid signatures are needed.
If passed, the new commission could take effect as early as the 2026 elections.
