The resolution proposed by Representatives Glassburn and Brennan seeks to amend Section 1 of Article V of the Ohio Constitution to lower the voting age from eighteen to sixteen years. If approved, this amendment would allow citizens who are at least sixteen years old, have been residents of Ohio, and have registered to vote for at least thirty days to participate in all state and local elections. The proposal also stipulates that individuals who are or will be sixteen years old by the next general election will be entitled to vote in primary elections.

The amendment is set to be submitted to Ohio voters during the general election on November 3, 2026. If a majority of voters approve the change, the new voting age will take effect immediately, and the current version of Section 1 of Article V will be repealed. This resolution reflects a significant shift in voting policy, aiming to engage younger citizens in the electoral process.
