🚨 URGENT! Tell Gov. DeWine to VETO SB 293!

In 2024, almost 10,000 ballots postmarked by Election Day arrived at their BOE’s during the 4-day window that SB 293 would eliminate. Clearly this is not a "minor revision."

☎️ Make 3 calls to Gov. DeWine’s office & urge him to VETO SB 293!

⚠️ SB 293 is a harmful voting bill that will do away with the four-day grace period for postmarked ballots arriving after Election Day, hurting Ohio voters.

🗣️ Tell Gov. DeWine to VETO SB 293!
