The Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission will consider whether to increase the maximum term an Ohio legistator can serve from eight years to twelve years. See Ohio Constitutional Modernization Commission’s Facebook post. A recent Akron Beacon Journal editorial, Fix redistricting now, term limits next year, suggests waiting on the term limits issue. While liberal and conservative groups may have more difficulties working with term-limited legislators, there has been no public outcry against term limits from these groups. The term limit issue would distract from the changes to Ohio legislative redistricting which will appear on the November ballot.
