All Voting is Local Ohio works to expand voting access statewide, protect current state and local pro-voter policies, and organize against election sabotage. As a partner in the Ohio Voter Rights Coalition, All Voting Ohio engages with elections officials, encourages Ohioans to serve as poll workers, conducts nonpartisan voter education, and engages in Election Protection to guarantee that elections are run smoothly and fairly. Deploying data to shed light on the impact of election administration policies, we also work closely with partner organizations to advocate on a range of key issues impacting voters, including provisional ballot rejections.

FEATURED WORK
In 2023, Ohio voters defeated State Issue 1, a legislature-proposed ballot measure that would have increased the threshold for voters to pass constitutional amendments by ballot measure. All Voting Ohio worked to turn people out to vote in the election by running a digital ad campaign that reached nearly 2 million people and sending postcards to 40,000 voters across the state.
Using a collection of real-life experiences from voters and nonpartisan election observers, All Voting Ohio created a best-practices guide for election officials that addresses some of the state’s most critical voter suppression issues, including the overuse and rejection of provisional ballots, improving polling location accessibility, alleviating delays in the delivery of absentee ballots, and more. In 2024, All Voting is working with partners to deploy that guidance to officials across the state to ensure that Ohioans can cast a ballot that counts.
