The One Person One Vote coalition, along with three Ohio residents, has filed a lawsuit with the Ohio Supreme Court, arguing that the August election set by the Legislature to make it harder to amend Ohio's Constitution is illegal. The ballot measure, if approved by voters, would require 60% of voters to enact constitutional amendments instead of a simple majority.

The Ohio House has approved a measure to ask voters in an August election whether to make it harder to amend the state constitution. The measure would require 60% of voter support to enact a constitutional amendment, as opposed to the existing simple majority threshold of 50% plus one vote. The resolution would also require signatures gathered from all 88 counties in Ohio to place an initiative on the ballot. The House’s approval came after protesters chanting “one person, one vote” were ousted from the room.
