(You should actually vote YES on issues #2, #3, #4 and #5)
Issue #2 Allows voters to vote early by mail. That is it makes it easier to vote by allowing all Ohioans to vote by mail. For example the state of Oregon already does all their voting by mail.

To adopt Section 6 of Article XVII of the Constitution of the State of Ohio.
In order to expand to all electors the choice to vote by absentee ballot in all elections, this amendment would:
• Provide that any person qualified to vote in an election is entitled during the thirty-five days prior to the election to receive and to cast a ballot by mail or in person at the county board of elections or additional location designated by the board. No reason for casting such a ballot shall be required. When a ballot is mailed to an elector, the county board of elections shall also provide a pre-addressed, postage pre-paid envelope for returning the ballot to that county board of elections.
• An elector to whom a ballot has been mailed, but which has not been received by the issuing county board of elections prior to the election, may cast a provisional ballot on election day. If the elector’s first ballot is received by the tenth day following the election, the provisional ballot shall not be counted. A ballot which is received by the issuing board by mail no later than the tenth day following the election shall be treated as timely cast if it contains a postmark not later than the day of the election.
IF PASSED THIS AMENDMENT WILL BE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

Having participated in voting by mail I must say I really love it. Very easy and I can sit on the interenet and research any issue I want more info about before I vote. there’s also no indication that there’s any more monkeying around than goes on in Ohio elections.
