Due to COVID-19, many of us have concerns about voting in the November election. Bring your questions and join us to learn about: voter eligibility and registration, three ways to vote, absentee ballots, important dates, common problems to avoid to ensure that your vote is counted, and ways you can get involved in voter education and advocacy. You may even get answers to questions you did not know to ask such as how many stamps you need to mail in your ballot.

Please join us Friday in search of Senator Rob Portman. Our search party will gather outside of the senator’s office at 37 West Broad. Also keep an eye out for Portman’s good buddy, Senator Mitch McConnell. Wherever you find Mitch McConnell, Senator Portman is right next to him promoting the same cynical policies that leave all Ohioans in danger during the pandemic.
