This year’s legislative priorities include improving Ohio’s outdated voter registration system, implementation of voter-approved redistricting reforms, and other democracy reforms. The keynote lunch will feature a conversation between Virginia Kase (Executive Director of LWVUS) and Jen Miller (Executive Director of LWVO) about the League’s rich history and even brighter future.Be sure to purchase your ticket while seats are still available!
