LAST CALL to recycle signs, wires and posts! We’ve been recycling since the day after Election Day, Wednesday, November 4th. A trailer has been in the HQ parking lot. Place signs, wires and posts in the trailer. The trailer will be removed Thursday, November 12, 2026. Let’s keep the area clean! THANK YOU!!
Even though it is your right to decide when you want to vote, hundreds of thousands of Ohioans have been removed/purged – or are scheduled to be removed/purged – from voter registration files at local county boards of elections because of inactivity. More than 17,300 Erie Countians have been removed/purged from the voter files since 2009. About 70 additional Erie Countians are scheduled to be purged in January 2027 if no voting activity this cycle. You should make it a habit to check your voter registration before every voter registration deadline and before every election.
Governor DeWine did not any mince words when he announced his veto: “House Bill 472 would not discourage fraud, would not add any real security, and would create an additional and significant burden for Ohioans who vote by mail.” In addition, DeWine told Ohio Republicans that the bill is not needed “because Ohio does an excellent job running elections” and the bill would pose a burden to voters without any real benefit.
Reminder: What’s happening in Erie County! Don’t miss out! RSVP TODAY!
On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, we’ll be hosting A Conversation with Ohio Democratic Party Chairwoman Kathleen Clyde. In addition, State Representative Allison Russo, candidate for Ohio Secretary of State, will be attending! Also meet our Erie County candidates for State Representative District 89 Easton Retzke, Erie County Commissioner Mindy Kayl and Erie County Auditor Paul Meisel.
Primary elections are where real choices are made. If you want meaningful influence – not just a symbolic vote where other voters make the choice for whom you may vote for in the General Election, the Primary Election is where your voice often matters the most!
Behind every successful Election Day are the dedicated temporary poll workers who make it all possible. You may not know it, but these everyday people are one of our most important cornerstones of our democracy — keeping our elections running smoothly and ensuring that every voter has the opportunity to cast their ballot securely and fairly. The most important job of a poll worker is to help administer our nation’s elections, ensuring the right to a secure, fair, and accurate vote in our communities. Poll workers handle everything from setting up polling locations and checking in voters to distributing ballots, providing language assistance, helping voters with voting machines, answering questions about the process, and, most exciting of all, handing out “I Voted” stickers. Poll workers are needed for the Primary, May 5, 2026. If this sounds exciting to you, here’s what you need to know about working the polls in Erie County!
The Ohio legislature, with a Republican supermajority, passed Senate Bill 293, another unnecessary and harmful election law that hurts Ohio voters. SB 293 was co-sponsosred by State Senator Teresa Gavarone — who represents Erie County. This bill will invalid thousands of valid absentee/mail-in ballots mailed on time from eligible Ohio voters — absentee/mail-in ballots previously had a four day grace period as long as the ballot envelope was postmarked by the Monday before Election Day and are counted as long as the ballot arrives within four days after Election Day. Worse, at the last minute lawmakers threw in parts of SB 153 to make voter registration and election administration more onerous. In the meantime, the ACLU and other voter rights organizations have filed a lawsuit to overturn SB293. Please read the UPDATE from Erie County Board of Elections!
Dr. Amy Acton has tapped David Pepper, the former chair of the Ohio Democratic Party, as her running mate in the 2026 governor race. Pepper is well-known in Ohio politics, and one of the reasons is his outspoken nature. His Twitter/X account boasts nearly 110,000 followers, has written several books about democracy and has been featured as a political commentator/guest on CNN and MSNBC/MSNow many times. In addition, he has been an essential political donor to Democratic causes.
