We need strong, stable election law—not rushed legislation that puts voters and election workers at risk.
📲 Tell Ohio’s lawmakers: Slow down. Listen to election professionals. Protect Ohio voters.

📣Action Alert: Tell Ohio lawmakers to slow down changes to Ohio’s election laws

Ohio lawmakers are rushing major election changes in the middle of an election, giving election officials no time to review and respond to proposed rule changes. Urge them to slow their roll.

Close to a deadline for mailing your ballot, tax return or legal document? To make sure it gets a postmark on time under the latest USPS changes, you may want to send it early or visit a post office.
