TAKE ACTION TO STRENGTHEN OHIO'S DEMOCRACY
SUPPORT OHIO'S ELECTION WORKERS
Our democracy relies on dedicated election workers who ensure smooth, accessible, and secure voting experiences. As the Ohio House begins its work on the main operating budget, it's crucial that Boards of Elections receive maximum funding to adequately support these essential workers
.Why is this important?
- Robust Training and Recruitment: Sufficient funding enables comprehensive training programs and effective recruitment strategies, ensuring that election officials and poll workers are competent and prepared.
- Fair Compensation: Competitive wages are essential to attract and retain qualified poll workers, recognizing their dedication and the long hours they commit.
- Enhanced Security Measures: Recent years have seen increased threats against election workers, and it is our duty to keep election workers and polling places safe.
Take one minute today to urge your Ohio House representative and the members of the Ohio House Finance Committee to fully fund our Boards of Elections and support the heroes of our democracy.
Thank you for standing up for Ohio's election workers!

Thank you for taking the time to act! Right now, there are no General Assembly members associated with your address. This could mean you are not an Ohio resident, or that you have newly elected members in both the Ohio House and Ohio Senate, which has not yet updated their new member contacts. If it is the latter, please try again in a few days. Please reach out to Elisabeth Warner with any questions at ewarner@lwvohio.org.
Thank you!

Here are some tips for effective communication with our lawmakers.
- Have a clear and concise message: Write or speak briefly about the issue and finish with your ask ("vote no/yes on x", "increase funding for x", "create legislation that will x"). If you are communicating about a specific bill, be sure to provide the bill number and sponsor. Elected officials and their staff are often dealing with a high volume of calls, so a focused message makes it easier for them to understand and respond to.
- Use the message you just sent as a script: Adapt it to make it shorter or more personal, or read it as-is.
- Personalize your message: Why is this important to you? What is your connection to the issue? Make it a story so you stand out.
- Identify yourself as a constituent: Most lawmakers will immediately disregard someone who is outside of their district, so be sure to let them know you are a potential voter.
- Why phone calls? Person-to-person communication is the most effective. They show effort and passion, and give you and the legislator (or their staff) the chance for an actual conversation.
