SB 153 and HB 233 are bad twin bills in the Ohio Statehouse that would be very bad for voters, elections, and election officials. If passed, they would: ❌ Make registering to vote much harder ❌ Ban election drop boxes ❌ Make getting issues and candidates on the ballot much harder ❌ Increase ballot rejections ❌ Make election officials’ jobs much harder Help us stop these very bad bills: email Ohio lawmakers here and call their offices to tell them to oppose these bills: lwvohio.salsalabs.org/protectohiosdirectdemocracy (fb)

📣 Take action: Tell the Ohio Senate's Finance Committee that survivors shouldn’t have to choose between safety and voting. 🏠+ 🗳️ Bipartisan legislation passed in 2016 created Ohio's Safe at Home program, which lets survivors of domestic violence, stalking, & trafficking keep their addresses private when registering to vote. 💸 It's supposed to be funded through fines paid by offenders, but in 2024, it got just $5,200 – that's not nearly enough. 📈 Secretary LaRose has asked for more funding. 📉 But the Ohio House cut it from the budget. 👉 Tell the Ohio Senate: Protect survivors. Fund Safe at Home. (fb)
