Origin

Constitutional convention



Ohio Lower Legislative Veto Override Threshold Amendment was on the ballot as a constitutional convention referral in Ohio on September 3, 1912. It was approved.

A “yes” vote supported lowering the threshold for overriding a governor's veto from a two-thirds (66.67%) vote to a three-fifths (60%) vote of all elected members in each house, except for measures requiring a two-thirds vote on original passage.

A "no" vote opposed lowering the threshold for overriding a governor's veto, thereby keeping the requirement that a veto override must receive a two-thirds (66.67%) vote of all elected members in each house.
