Ohio: Citizenship Checks and Mail-In Ballot Deadline Restrictions

SB 293 creates an onerous citizenship checks process that makes it harder to stay registered to vote, especially for naturalized citizens or anyone that doesn’t have ready access to citizenship documents when they get their driver’s license. The bill also restricts the ability of Ohioans to vote by mail by eliminating the four-day grace period after Election Day for mail-in ballots to be delivered to the board of elections.

Ohio SAVE Act

OH SB 153/HB 233 would require documentary proof of citizenship, along with other sweeping changes to election code like banning the use of drop boxes and requiring multiple forms of identification to match your voter registration. The bill would also drastically change the process for citizen-led ballot initiatives.
