About Reform Ohio Now

Reform Ohio Now is a diverse group of people and organizations concerned about Ohio's future and direction. We've seen the corruption, lack of accountability, and misaligned priorities in our state government. So we're working to bring significant change to Ohio, through a series of constitutional amendments to be voted on in November 2005. These good government initiatives include:

Putting Ohio's process of determining legislative seats in the hands of an independent, non-partisan commission. Currently, politicians bicker over where seats should be based on their own political interests, creating districts that are uncompetitive and where the issues facing Ohio are rarely debated in elections.
Campaign finance reform for Ohio. The saturation of money into political campaigns is at an all time high. We propose reducing the maximum individual contribution to $2000 for statewide candidates and $1000 for General Assembly candidates. Corporate contributions would be prohibited, and loopholes allowing minors to make contributions would be tightened. This amendment also places overall limits on total contributions by an individual to all candidates and parties while limiting the amount parties can contribute.
Modernizing Ohio's election system. Ohioans deserve easy access to the polls, but often have difficulty finding it. This amendment would allow all Ohioans to vote by mail, if they choose to do so. An independent Board of Supervisors would oversee the conduct and administration of elections, ensuring access and fairness in elections.

These three amendments are the first steps towards improving the quality and objectivity of Ohio's elections-and ultimately improving Ohio.
