Issue 1 Ohio: A Citizen-Led Revolution against Gerrymandering

The Stakes Are High
On November 5, 2024, Ohio voters will have the chance to revolutionize their political landscape with "Issue 1," a proposed constitutional amendment that would create an independent citizens' commission to handle redistricting.
What is Gerrymandering?
Gerrymandering is the insidious practice of manipulating electoral boundaries to give certain political parties an unfair advantage. It violates the principle of "one person, one vote" and distorts the will of the people.
Ohioans Deserve Fair Elections
Issue 1 aims to put an end to this electoral manipulation in Ohio. It proposes a nonpartisan, citizen-led commission to draw district lines, ensuring a fair and competitive process.
A People-Powered Solution
The proposed commission would be composed of 15 citizens, randomly selected from a pool of applicants. These individuals would be independent and free from the influence of politicians and lobbyists.
Nonpartisan Representation
To ensure balance, the commission would be divided into five Republicans, five Democrats, and five Independents. This diverse composition would guarantee that all perspectives are considered in the redistricting process.
Transparency and Accountability
The commission's meetings would be open to the public, and its decisions would be based on transparent criteria that prioritize fairness and compact districts. Citizens would have the opportunity to provide input and hold the commission accountable.
A Historic Opportunity
Issue 1 is a historic opportunity for Ohio to break free from the shackles of gerrymandering. It would restore the power to the people and ensure that their votes truly count.
A Call to Action
