What the ballot will say
The exact question, where to find it, and which box means yes.
The question
Ohio law sets the wording of a school district income tax question. For an earned income tax like this one, the ballot reads close to this, with the blanks filled by the certified language:
"Shall an annual income tax of 1.0% on the earned income of individuals residing in the school district be imposed by the Wadsworth City School District, for a period of five (5) years, beginning [the date it would first take effect], for the purpose of [the stated purpose]?"
The five-year term comes from the committee's own published FAQ. The start date, the exact legal wording, and the stated purpose come from the certified ballot language filed with the Medina County Board of Elections, which the committee does not have yet. The day it does, this page quotes it word for word.
Which box means yes
The certified ballot ends with two choices, in these exact words. A yes vote is FOR THE TAX LEVY.
FOR THE TAX LEVY
This is a yes vote
Fill in this box to vote yes on the 1.0% earned income tax.
AGAINST THE TAX LEVY
This is a no vote
Leaving both boxes empty counts as no vote on the question at all.
Where it is on your ballot
The levy is a school district question. Look for it after the candidate races, in the questions and issues section. The issue number is assigned by the Board of Elections and will appear here once the ballot is certified.
If you are unsure whether your address is inside the Wadsworth City School District, the voter lookup shows your district and your polling place.
Sample ballots are posted by the Board of Elections before early voting. The link lands here the day it is up.
