(COLUMBUS, OHIO 11/18/2021) — On Wednesday, Nov. 10, the Ohio Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Ohio) joined Common Cause Ohio at Senator Portman’s office in Columbus, Ohio to urge him to support the Freedom to Vote Act.  

The Freedom to Vote Act will help remove several hurdles that communities of color and other minority communities face when voting. This bill seeks to eliminate challenges with voting by:  

• Expanding voter registration (e.g., automatic and same-day registration)  
• Voting access (e.g., vote-by-mail and early voting)  

• Limiting the removal of voters from voter rolls   
• Restoring voting rights to those with past criminal convictions  
• Establishing Election Day as a federal holiday.
