How the New Ohio Voting Law Affects Overseas Civilian and Military Voters
In January, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed Ohio House Bill (HB) 458, modifying the state’s election laws. Our guest speaker, Connie Pillich, chair of the Ohio Democratic Party’s Veterans & Military Community Caucus, criticized DeWine for signing HB 458 because she says it permits tossing military ballots.
Please join the Ohio State Team and the Veterans and Military Families Caucus for an explanation and discussion of how the changes affect overseas voters.
RSVP to receive the Zoom link to join the meeting.
