Citizens Not Politicians, a group seeking to change the way Ohio draws its congressional and legislative maps, sent 700,000 signatures to the Secretary of State on Monday.

The group is looking to overhaul the current Ohio Redistricting Commission, which is made up of three statewide officeholders and four state lawmakers, with an independent body with diversified political beliefs. Republican Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose will work with local election boards to determine that at least 413,446 signatures are valid in order to place the measure on the election ballot this November.
