URGENT ACTION ALERT: Some Ohio Lawmakers Want to Throw Out Valid Votes

Submitted by Perrysburg Area in November 2025.

Action Alerts

Urgent: Ohio lawmakers are trying to pass a bill that would throw out 1000s of valid mail-in ballots.  (Action Alert from LWVO.)

Ohio Senate Bill 293 would take away Ohio’s long-standing 4-day acceptance window for absentee ballots that were mailed on time and postmarked by the day before Election Day. This means voters who followed the rules and got their ballots in on time would be disenfranchised for something out of their control– the speed of our postal system. 

Ohioans with disabilities, rural Ohioans, Ohio seniors, and the working Ohioans who are most reliant on absentee voting to be able to participate in elections are at an especially high risk of having their votes thrown out simply because of mail delays.

Go here to tell Ohio Senators not to eliminate the 4-day ballot acceptance window.
