The resolution proposed by Representatives Workman and Bird seeks to amend the Ohio Constitution by enacting Section 5 of Article V, which would require voters to present identification in order to cast their ballots. This requirement includes showing a photo ID when voting in person at designated polling places, with specific provisions for individuals who may have a sincere religious objection to being photographed. Additionally, the resolution allows for the option of casting a provisional ballot for those who do not have photo identification at the time of voting, provided they submit the required ID by a specified deadline for their vote to be counted.

The proposed identification must be a valid document issued by a state or federal agency that includes the voter's name and photograph, such as an Ohio driver's license, a U.S. passport, or military identification. The resolution emphasizes that it does not mandate the General Assembly to allow voting in any manner other than in-person on election day. If approved by a majority of voters in the upcoming general election on November 3, 2026, the new section would take effect immediately.
