The Ohio legislature is considering a host of anti-voter bills - SB 293, SB153 and SB4 - that LWV Ohio is advocating against. Let your state representative know how you feel about them:

SB 293: Revise deadline to return absent voter ballots.  Would eliminate 4-day acceptance window for absentee ballots that are postmarked the day before election day. Status: passed by Ohio Senate last week; heads to the General Government Committee in the Ohio House–no hearing yet scheduled.

SB 153: Require citizenship verification before an elector may vote.

• Would ban drop boxes, attack citizen petition process, make it harder to register and vote, overload Board of Elections with unfunded mandates and new requirements
• Status: In General Government Committee in the Ohio Senate 

SB 4:Create Election Integrity Unit; revise election law prosecution

• Would create Election Integrity Unity, revise election law prosecution, increase the authority of Ohio’s Secretary of State and Attorney General to investigate and refer allegations of election fraud and voter suppression, takes power away from local prosecutors and local Boards of Elections, and concentrates power for two highly partisan offices.
• Passed Senate, in General Government Committee in the Ohio House

HJR 2/SJR 3: Applies to Congress for a Convention of the States

• Would have Ohio apply for a convention of states to propose amendments to limit the power of the federal government. Under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, Congress is required to hold a constitutional convention if two-thirds of state legislatures (34 states; current count is 20) call for one. If a Convention is called, there are no rules, guardrails, or protections of our basic civil liberties– at this time, a Constitutional Convention represents an extreme threat to our freedom, rights, and democracy.
