"A new proposal from Ohio GOP leaders would make it harder for voters to amend the state constitution, an avenue advocates for abortion access and redistricting reform are expected to pursue in the coming years.

Secretary of State Frank LaRose and state Rep. Brian Stewart, R-Ashville, are spearheading an effort to require 60% of voters to enact citizen-led amendments, instead of a simple majority of 50% plus one vote. The measure unveiled Thursday comes in the form of a proposed amendment that voters would need to approve before it takes effect.

The change would not apply to the state's initiated statute process, meaning it would not affect current efforts to legalize recreational marijuana. Amendments put forward by the Legislature, which require a supermajority in both chambers to place on the ballot, would still only need a simple majority of voters to pass."
