Here’s how the H.B. 194 will hurt Ohioans by reducing their access to voting:
Reduce by mail absentee voting to 3 weeks from 5 weeks and reduce in-person absentee voting to 2 weeks.
Ban in-person absentee voting on Sundays and Saturday afternoon
Ban in-person early voting during the last weekend before the election
Make it more difficult for the Election Boards to open extra offices in the community to make it more convenient to vote early
Stop local Election Boards from sending absentee ballot applications unsolicited to all voters
Stop local Elections Boards from paying postage on return absentee ballot requests or on the return of absentee ballots
Impose technical reasons not to count votes
