Looking to piggyback on a high election turnout in November, the ‘One Fair Wage’ campaign fell short of the required signatures to place a 43% increase to Ohio’s minimum wage on the ballot.

The second ballot initiative, led by ‘Citizens Not Politicians’, was more than successful, turning in 731,306 voter signatures to the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office. The amendment, which will appear on the ballot this November, would replace the Ohio Redistricting Commission with a 15-member citizen’s panel made up of equal parts Republicans, Democrats, and political independents.

Elected officials, party operatives, lobbyists, and their immediate family members would be barred from serving on the new commission. 7/10/2024
