Hello,
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed Senate Bill 293 into law — dangerous legislation that eliminates Ohio’s four-day grace period for voters to return their absentee ballots.
That means mail-in absentee ballots won’t be counted at all if they don’t arrive on Election Day, so election officials can reject ballots that voters mailed on time simply because of postal delays.
This anti-voting bill only adds more barriers to the ballot box and makes it hard for people in Ohio to vote. In 2024, nearly 10,000 ballots would have been thrown out if this bill had been in effect.
Mail-in voting plays an essential role in allowing vulnerable communities to vote, including seniors, voters with disabilities, caregivers, rural residents, students, and people without reliable transportation who depend on it.
We need your help to fight back. Can you donate any amount — $5, $10, or more — to push back against restrictive voter laws like SB 293 and elect pro-democracy leaders up and down the ballot?
