Ah…the Golden Week of Voting!
That's when you can register to vote AND vote at the same time.
Avoid long lines at the polls on November 4. . . Take your time with important ballot issues that will affect your family. . .
There is a special opportunity to do this during the so-called golden week between Tuesday, September 30 and Monday, October 6.
Simply visit your county board of elections or a satellite office set up to do in-person absentee voting. Register to vote. Fill out an absentee ballot application then vote. If you're already registered, just show up and vote! It's as easy as that!
There are some confusing issues on the ballot this year. One of them is Issue 5, a referendum backed by the payday-lending industry. It's trying to overturn the rate cap portion of a law that was passed by the Ohio legislature and signed by Governor Strickland in June. A NO vote will keep payday loan interest rates at 391% APR. BUT A YES VOTE CAPS INTEREST RATES AT 28% APR.
Keep the reforms of the payday lending industry that were supported overwhelmingly by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. VOTE YES ON ISSUE 5!
Mark your calendar! Register to vote AND vote between September 30th and October 6th and VOTE YES ON ISSUE 5!
It's a golden opportunity!
