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.

Fair Maps

League of Women Voters of the United States CEO Celina Stewart, Esq., issued the following statement in response to states considering mid-cycle redistricting:

"The League of Women Voters does not support a tit-for-tat approach to redistricting. State legislatures redrawing their maps mid-cycle reflects political gamesmanship that erodes public trust in our democracy. Redistricting must be fair, transparent, and rooted in the voices of voters — not partisan retaliation.
