After record-breaking voter turnout in 2020, the state legislature has introduced a bill that would make it harder for Ohioans to vote and disproportionately impact Black and Brown voters.
House Bill 294 would:
– Reduce time for early voting
– Limit ballot drop boxes
– Shorten the application period for absentee ballots
– Tighten voter-ID requirements & more!
Protect your right to vote – tell your legislators to oppose House Bill 294! Take action here
