Ohio Republican lawmakers send constitutional amendment requiring voter photo ID to ballot
Ohioans will vote in November on a constitutional amendment requiring photo ID to vote after state Republican lawmakers passed the ballot resolution Wednesday.
They introduced the proposal a few weeks ago.
Ohio law already requires citizens to provide photo identification before voting thanks to a bill the lawmakers passed in 2022 and took effect in 2023.
The Ohio House passed Senate Joint Resolution 10 61-27 during Wednesday’s marathon session. The resolution needed 60% of Ohio House members to approve the resolution, which the Ohio Senate easily passed last week.
