(Center Square) – An Ohio Voters’ Bill of Rights may move forward to go before voters as an amendment to the state constitution.

Attorney General Dave Yost approved the summary of the proposed amendment after the Ohio Supreme Court ordered review in late October following Yost’s rejection based on title.

Yost rejected the summary in January based on the title, but said he reexamined it without considering the title and found it fair and truthful.

“The fact that the Ohio Supreme Court’s recent decision concludes that the relevant statute does not grant me authority to review the title does not change my decision that it is misleading,” Yost wrote in a letter to the petitioners. “The court did not reach a decision on the merits of this decision. I support it. I urge you to consider a more accurate and less misleading title.”

The tabled title of the proposed amendment is “Safe and Fair Elections.”

During the January review, Yost said he did not review the entire brief, according to the Supreme Court, only the title. Because of this, the court ordered review rather than sending the petition to the Ohio Ballot Board.

The the proposed change.aspx) would expand voting rights and registration, establishing the right to vote as a fundamental right in the Ohio Constitution. It would also prevent the state from interfering with a legal Ohio voter from voting.

It also calls for automatic voter registration, same-day voter registration, and an end to the automatic purging of rolls after four years of not voting.

It would also allow voters to sign an affidavit instead of showing ID to vote and create no-excuse absentee voting.

The next process, the Ohio Vote Commission must determine whether the proposal contains a single constitutional amendment or multiple amendments. If the board certifies the proposal, petitioners must collect signatures from registered voters equal to at least 10 percent of the vote cast in the most recent gubernatorial election. Those signatures must come from voters in at least 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties, and for each of those counties, the number must equal at least 5 percent of the vote cast in the most recent gubernatorial election.

If the Secretary of State verifies sufficient signatures at least 65 days before the election, the full text of the proposed amendment will be placed on the ballot at the next regular or general election.
