Issue 1: When do polls close in Ohio? Where is my voting location?

Updated

Voters will decide in an Aug. 8 special election whether they support Ohio Issue 1, a measure which would:

  • Require 60% of voters to pass a new constitutional amendment, instead of a simple majority of 50% plus one.

  • Require citizens who want to place an amendment on the ballot to collect signatures from at least 5% of voters from the last gubernatorial election in all 88 counties, instead of the current 44.

  • Eliminate a 10-day cure period that allows citizens to replace any signatures deemed faulty by the secretary of state's office.

If you haven't voted early either by absentee or in person, here's what you need to know about finding your polling place.
