If you care about fair and balanced elections, you need to care about the citizen-initiated Redistricting Movement and support it with your time and money. The obscene gerrymandering that has gone on for far too many years has resulted in district geographies that defy sensible representation -- a situation that must stop now.

We have just 5 days left to make history in Ohio by putting citizens in charge of Fair Districts.
In response to heavy interest from thousands of Ohioans, Voters First has just opened new signing locations all across the state. It is now easier than ever to find a location to sign a petition and get involved.

Imagine 10 more years of rigge

d Republican districts that virtually guarantees Republican one-party rule in Ohio for the next decade. Let that sink in.
That's what the currently redrawn district map virtually guarantees --- one-party Republican rule in Ohio through 2020.
It's as simple as this: unless this redistricting petition gets enough signatures to get on the November ballot, Ohio Republicans will have the upper hand at the state and federal levels. The only recourse to challenge their misguided legislation will be an endless 10 more years of petitions, ballot issues and fund raising for long-shot Democratic candidates.
If you signed a petition last fall, you have not signed this current petition and we need your signature! Click 'Read More' to see where you can sign the petition:
