Welcome Portage County Residents
Portage is a beautiful, moderately sized, county in Ohio’s northeast. One of the requirement to get on the ballot is we must get 10% of the voters of the last governors race – or approximately 418,00 signatures. However, those must come from at least 44 counties with at least 5% of their voters.
For Portage County to be a full partner in the Abolition of Taxes on Real Property amendment we need to collect at least 3,020 quality signatures. Therefore, the goal for portage is to collect at least 8% but would love to get 15%.
We will use the cart below to track your progress based on the 8% and 15% numbers, because some signatures will not count.
