Ohio lawmakers move to change election laws, voter ID requirements
"House Bill 294 would also allow election officials to set up three ballot drop boxes at one location in the county, which advocates worry could limit access for voters in both urban and rural areas. It also lets Ohioans request an absentee ballot online and eliminates in-person early voting the Monday before Election Day, redistributing those hours to other days."

Republicans at the statehouse want to come after our right to vote, team.
Ohio already has extreme voter laws that disenfranchise thousands of voters – especially low-income Ohioans, the elderly, and people of color.
Now, Republicans at the statehouse want to take it a step further by passing HB 294, a disgusting anti-voter bill that would make it more difficult for Ohioans to have their voice heard at the polls: limit drop boxes, restrict absentee voting, cut early voting, and more.
Looking ahead to 2024 and beyond, Ohio Democrats are focused on protecting the right to vote. We all must work together to fight against any future anti-voter attacks that Ohio Republicans launch.
If you're committed to protecting voting rights and rejecting the dangerous and unpopular HB 294, sign our petition to demand Ohio Republicans stop attacking the right to vote >>
Thank you,
The Ohio Democratic Party
The Ohio Democratic Party is working year-round to elect Democrats who will fight for working families all over the Buckeye State. We have the chance to flip not only Ohio's open U.S. Senate seat, but to elect a Democratic governor as well. Will you pitch in $10 or more right away? Every dollar you give helps build a blue Ohio.
