Help us return the power to the people.

Let’s work together to restore voter confidence.

Through Ohio Ballot Protection, we educate Ohioans about what ballot initiatives can help them achieve —and how that process must evolve to truly benefit Ohioans.

We’re neighbors, parents, and professionals who care deeply about protecting the rights and voices of Ohio’s voters. What unites us is a shared belief that fair elections are not just a policy goal, but a moral responsibility.

Learn how the process works in Ohio, and what's holding us back.

The current ballot initiative process has kept many citizen-led initiatives from reaching the ballot for voters to decide on.
