Ohio midterm elections and voter ID amendment

Overview

The November midterm elections in Ohio will include a vote on Issue 3, a proposed constitutional amendment that would mandate photo identification for in-person voting. While Ohio has required photo ID for in-person voting since 2023, this measure would elevate the requirement to a constitutional mandate. Support for the amendment is split among political figures, with the Ohio Republican Party backing the measure and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton expressing support, though other statewide Democratic candidates oppose it.

As the election approaches, the voter registration deadline is set for October 5. The midterm contests feature several high-profile races, including the gubernatorial election between Vivek Ramaswamy and Amy Acton, and a U.S. Senate race between incumbent Republican Jon Husted and Democrat Sherrod Brown. Early voting is scheduled to commence on October 6.
