Path to the ballot
A veto referendum is a citizen-initiated ballot measure that asks voters whether to uphold or repeal an enacted law. This type of ballot measure is also called statute referendum, popular referendum, people's veto, or citizen's veto. There are 23 states that allow citizens to initiate veto referendums.
In Ohio, the number of signatures required for a veto referendum is equal to 6% of the votes cast in the last gubernatorial election. Signatures for veto referendums are due 90 days after the targeted law is signed. A simple majority vote is required for voter approval.
