LWVO's 11/21/25 Action Alert

On Wednesday [11/19/25], the Ohio legislature passed Senate Bill 293, another unnecessary and harmful election law that hurts Ohio voters. This bill would throw away thousands of valid absentee ballots mailed on time from eligible Ohio voters—worse, at the last minute lawmakers threw in parts of SB 153 to make voter registration and election administration more onerous. 

Call Gov. DeWine and urge him to VETO Senate Bill 293. He has 10 days from when the bill is passed to decide what to do, but he could sign it any minute so we need to act quickly. No one should lose their vote because of slow mail or a clerical error.

60th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act

(The following was copied from LWVUS's 08/06/25 Action Alert.)

Sixty years ago, Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act (VRA) into law, outlawing discriminatory barriers that prevented voters of color from exercising their right to vote.

In the decades since it was passed into law, the VRA has been reauthorized every time with bipartisan support and signed by presidents of both political parties. The VRA remains necessary to this day to prevent voter discrimination for all of us, no matter the language we speak, the color of our skin, or the zip code we live in.

The Senate just reintroduced the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (JLVRAA), which will fully modernize and restore the VRA to protect voters against discrimination.

 Tell your Representatives and Senators to support the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and live up to the full promise of American democracy.
