Under Ohio law, the Ohio Jobs and Growth Committee was required  to submit petitions containing valid signatures of 402,275 registered Ohio voters with the Secretary of State by July 1 in order for the proposal to qualify for the November ballot.

According to the committee, if passed, the casinos would bring more than 34,000 new jobs and generate us$ 651 million a year in casino tax revenue.
