If voters approve the amendment, only U.S. citizens ages 18 and older and registered to vote for at least a month can vote in state/local elections.
State Issue 2, which would change the state constitution if a, proposes that only adult U.S. citizens who legally reside and are registered to vote in Ohio for at least 30 days can cast a ballot in future state and local elections.
Backers of the amendment say it's important to uphold the integrity of citizenship, while opponents argue it's an unnecessary part of a trend to cut down on voting access.already states that"every citizen of the United States, of the age of eighteenyears... and has been registered to vote for thirty days... is entitled to vote at all elections." Federal law also prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections.
But in 1917, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the state constitution's"home rule" – which gives cities the ultimate say over its own local affairs – allowed municipalities to expand voting rights in city elections. Back then, that meant a city could allow women to cast votes in local elections even though the right to vote was generally reserved for men.
