The Ohio Property Tax Assessment Referendum, also known as Referendum 2 or the Albaugh Act Referendum, was on the November 6, 1923 ballot in Ohio as a veto referendum, where it was defeated. The measure rejected a bill that would have established the county as the unit for tax assessment of personal property. The bill also would have abolished the office of the elective assessor.[1][2]
