Getting started collecting signatures for the Citizens Not Politicians amendment

01.17.2024

Thanks for your interest in circulating petitions with Fair Districts (Common Cause Ohio and League of Women Voters and more) to get the Citizens Not Politicians amendment on the ballot. Here are the steps to get you started. 

First, sign up to volunteer. Once you are signed up we will forward your info to local leaders who will reach out with information about how to get booklets and get started. If you have already signed up, thank you! If you don’t hear from a local leader right away, email us at fairdistrictsohio2021@gmail.com to let us know, or click on this map to find petition distribution points and contact information for local leaders near you. 

Second, get trained! Sign up for any of the following trainings, or look for later dates at commoncause.org/events.

You can also simply listen to this recording, look at these slides, and take the petition circulator quiz.  

Here are some additional resources that may be useful:

If you are only collecting signatures, a Form 15 for the Ohio Secretary of State isn’t necessary, but if you are helping out in other ways, please reach out to Trevor Martin (tmartin@lwvohio.org). 

Once again, thank you for joining the Fair Districts/Citizens Not Politicians signature collection effort — we’re so glad to have you on board!
