The League of Women Voters of Ohio (LWVO) was recently contacted by State Senator Jon Husted of Dayton regarding his plan to introduce legislation to change our state’s redistricting process and remove the duty of election oversight from the Ohio Secretary of State.
Sen. Husted has not yet presented a specific plan; however, during his meeting with LWVO Lobbyists Anne Henkener and Peg Rosenfield, he described concepts that are consistent with long-time LWVO objectives in these areas.
Husted has initiated meeting with key policy leaders and advocacy groups interested in these reforms. It is a testament to the respect of the League that Husted is seeking our support.
The LWVO will continue to follow this issue and provide updates as information becomes available.
Election Reform and Redistricting are part of the ImPACT program initiative. The ImPACT website is a premier repository of information on political reform issues. In addition to Election Reform and redistricting, other issues include: Accountability, Judicial Reform and Campaign Finance.
