The League of Women Voters of Delaware County is helping voters prepare for the upcoming March 19 primary.
The league is having several nonpartisan voter information events this month, beginning with an in-person learning event for Ohio voters today, Feb. 3, at 2 p.m. at the Unity Community Center, 50 A Ross St., Delaware.
Topics to be discussed include why voting matters, 2024 Ohio elections, an update on current ballot initiatives, voting logistics, and an update on Ohio voting laws. Voters will also be able to register to vote and request absentee ballots.
Other learning opportunities include sessions at area libraries. During these sessions, voters will be able to register to vote or update their voter registration, request absentee ballots, learn about key dates for the primary election, and have questions answered about voting in Ohio. Outside of the libraries, volunteers will also be collecting signatures for the nonpartisan Citizens Not Politicians Ballot Amendment petition.
Library dates and locations are:
• Feb. 3 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m at the Delaware Main Library, 84 E. Winter St., Delaware; and the Orange Branch Library, 7171 Gooding Blvd., Delaware.
