Demand Safety for All Ohio Voters in November

Frank LaRose, Ohio Secretary of State

Most Ohioans agree voters should able to cast our ballot without risking our safety — even in a pandemic.Sign our petition to voice your support.


As COVID-19 spreads more aggressively than ever, the major problems that surfaced during Ohio's delayed March primary -- a complicated process of requesting and returning a ballot, difficulty securing postage or printing forms, and lack of awareness of vote-by-mail procedures -- all remain unaddressed.

Ohioans know the only way for democracy to work is if we all have an equal voice, regardless of where we live, what we look like, or how much money we have.

That is why we must join together to call on our elected officials to implement solutions that will ensure all Ohioans have options to vote in November that are safe and convenient.

Because state lawmakers are on break for the summer already, the time for a legislative fix is past. Now it's up to Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose to use his authority to ensure all modes of voting are easily accessible to all voters.

We, the undersigned, are calling on Secretary of State Frank LaRose to use authority and funding already available to him to:

  • Include and pay for return postage on all absentee ballot applications and ballots

  • Allow voters to submit an absentee ballot request online

  • Establish multiple secure drop boxes for absentee ballot return

  • Commit to resist efforts to consolidate (or close) polling locations to avoid longer lines, no parking, and more crowded indoor space.
