Ohio Government/Constitution Practice Exam

To pass a constitutional amendment in Ohio, the requirement is a favorable vote from at least a majority of those participating in the election. However, this does not specifically mean a simple majority of 50% plus one; instead, Ohio mandates that a constitutional amendment must receive approval from three-fifths of voters, which translates to approximately 60%.

The choice indicating 66.67% suggests a two-thirds majority, which is commonly required in some legislative processes but not for constitutional amendments in Ohio. Similarly, the 70% option is even higher and does not reflect the state's established process. Hence, while the percentage of votes needed for a constitutional amendment isn't properly reflected in the choices, the correct requirement to be aware of is that it is a supermajority, typically defined as 60%.
