We, the undersigned, call on the Franklin County Board of Elections to publicly support uniform, expanded early voting hours across Ohio.
Why is this important?
For months, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has personally acted to restrict early voting in counties with large Democratic populations—casting tie-breaking votes to limit voting to weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in urban areas like Franklin County, where in previous elections 82% of early voters did so on nights or weekends. Now he is considering implementing these restrictions statewide. This is unacceptable. My petition seeks to get the Franklin County Board of Elections to publicly support expanded early voting hours across Ohio.
