There’s a lot at stake this August. The Ohio GOP, spurred on by out-of-state billionaires and special interests, have put a special election on the calendar on August 8 for only one issue: to give more power to corrupt Columbus politicians and the out-of-state special interests that are bankrolling their campaigns, and take it away from the people of Ohio.

Issue 1 would make it harder for the people of Ohio to get statewide initiatives on the ballot, by giving the people of one low-population county the power to block any statewide initiative, and make it harder to pass those initiatives by allowing a 40% minority of voters to block anything the majority wants.

Early voting is available for the August 2023 special election from July 11 – August 7. Lock in your vote early so you don’t have to worry about it later on. Any registered Warren County voter can vote early at the Board of Elections, regardless of your polling place on Election Day.
