Your guide to Ohio's August 8 special election on Issue 1

An Ohio special election on August 8 has just one item on the ballot: a constitutional amendment that would make it harder to pass future amendments.

Supporters of the measure say if Issue 1 passes, it will help prevent out-of-state special interests from funding campaigns to change Ohio's constitution.

Opponents say it's a thinly veiled attempt to make it harder for a proposed reproductive rights measure to win passage in November.
