The League of Women Voters of Toledo-Lucas County will hold a program, “Understanding Issue 1” on Monday, September 16. The program will run from 6:30 to 8 p.m., at the Maumee Branch of the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, 501 River Road, Maumee.
Throughout 2024, Ohioans worked to place a state constitutional amendment on the ballot in November 2024. Collecting the required signatures, the amendment will appear as a statewide issue on the November 5 election.
Known as Issue 1, it is intended to end gerrymandering in Ohio, the practice of drawing political district boundaries in ways that benefit one party over another, by barring elected officials from the process.
Speaker Elisabeth Warner, the communication coordinator for the League of Women Voters of Ohio, will present information on the ballot language on Issue 1 that was adopted by a 3 to 2 vote of the Ohio Ballot Board on August 16.
Materials will be available for all attending to help educate the public on the meaning of a yes or no vote.
This presentation is part of the league’s general membership meeting. The program is free and open to the public.
