What's happening this week:

An update on the primary from Ohio Voters Rights Coalition:

A bill passed March 26 will extend vote-by-mail until April 28th. Here are a few of the election-related details of Amended Substitute House Bill 197.

Absentee voting will be extended to April 28.
Voters can request vote-by-mail ballots until 4/25 (but we suggest you request TODAY!)
Absentee ballots must be postmarked no later than 4/27, or they can be dropped off at vote centers by 4/28.
The Secretary of State’s office will mail voters a postcard with information about how to request a vote-by-mail application. However, they will not mail postage-paid vote-by-mail applications.
There will be limited in-person voting, but only for those with disabilities and for some without access to the postal service like people experiencing homelessness.

We are predicting that it will be difficult if not impossible for many voters to request, receive, vote and return their ballots in time for them to be counted. It’s really not an acceptable outcome, and not a good precedent for future elections.

While some groups may take the fight to court, now is the time for us to get information to voters about the urgency of applying to vote-by-mail.
