WHAT’S ON THE BALLOT?
Ohio voters will find two statewide issues on their ballot this election:
- State Issue 1, the right to make reproductive decisions including abortion initiative
- State Issue 2, the marijuana legalization initiative
The state’s largest school district is asking voters to support a nearly $100 million levy. Columbus taxpayers would pay about $270 per $100,000 of taxable property value each year.
Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther is running for a third term and is being challenged by Joe Motil and several write-in candidates.
