- Ohio Equal Rights will try to get two amendments on 2027 ballot
Ohio Equal Rights has postponed efforts to place two constitutional amendments on the 2024 ballot, targeting instead the 2027 election. The amendments aim to remove Ohio's same-sex marriage ban and add comprehensive anti-discrimination protections based on factors including sexual orientation and gender identity. The group cited strategic alignment with other advocacy efforts and challenges like high campaign costs as reasons for the delay.
