Elected officials will continue to draw Ohio Statehouse and U.S. Congressional district maps now that voters have rejected Issue 1, which proposed to replace politicians with a citizens redistricting commission,

Ohio voters have rejected a change that would have removed politicians from the process of drawing congressional and legislative districts.

Ohio voters rejected a constitutional amendment Tuesday that would have established a citizen-led redistricting commission to replace an existing mapmaking system that repeatedly produced unconstitutional maps.

Voters will decide whether to give citizens the power to draw congressional and state legislative districts − a ballot measure called Ohio Issue 1.

Ohio voters are expressing confusion over ballot language written by opponents of Ohio Issue 1, so to be clear: A “Yes” vote establishes a new citizens redistricting commission. A “No” vote keeps politicians on the current Ohio Redistricting Commission in charge.

Issue 1 is Ohio’s proposed redistricting amendment. Voters will have the option to either vote “Yes” or “No” on it.
