Why it matters

Ohio H.B. 577: Strengthening Election Security While Supporting Ohio Seniors

Secure elections and accessible voting should go hand in hand. Strong identification requirements are essential to election integrity, but seniors who are homebound, have limited mobility, or live with disabilities may face challenges obtaining identification.

Ohio H.B. 577 seeks to strengthen absentee ballot verification while making identification more accessible to eligible voters.

Key provisions include:

Strengthening Absentee Ballot Verification: Require voters returning absentee ballots by mail to include a copy of an acceptable photo ID.

Supporting Homebound Seniors: Establish a program through the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles to help eligible homebound individuals obtain identification.

Improving Accessibility: Provide options for voters to obtain free copies of their photo identification.

Protecting Voter Privacy: Require confidential handling, secure storage, and proper disposal of submitted identification records.

These provisions aim to protect election integrity while addressing barriers faced by older Ohioans and voters with disabilities.

With Ohio's legislative session approaching its December conclusion, time is running out to advance H.B. 577.

Take Action Today! Contact your state representative and urge them to advance H.B. 577 out of the House General Government Committee and bring it to the Ohio House floor for a vote before the session ends!
