Ohio Ballot Board voted 3 -2 to approve language for an anti-gerrymandering amendment.
The initiative’s organizers said the language is “deceptive” and “unconstitutional,” will be challenged in court.
Citizens Not Politicians collected thousands of signatures to get a constitutional amendment on the ballot to end gerrymandering.
The group announced earlier this month that they collected 731,306 signatures in 57 counties.
The initiative needed at least 413,487 signatures — 10% of the total vote cast in the last gubernatorial election.
The measure will next be discussed at an Ohio Ballot Board meeting to consider the ballot language and title.
