Issue 2, also known as the Citizenship Voting Requirement Amendment, was a ballot measure approved by voters in Ohio during the 2022 United States elections. It amended the Ohio Constitution to require that only citizens who met voting criteria are allowed to vote in state or local elections.

Supporters of the measure claimed it protected "the integrity of elections," and would make elections more efficient administratively. Opponents claimed it "enhanced democracy," that it perpetuated election fraud claims.

The ballot measure passed with 76.90% of the vote.
