Have questions about voting in this fall\u2019s election? Ohio Secretary of State<\/a> Frank LaRose is here to help, and he\u2019s meeting Ohioans right where they are: virtually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

LaRose is partnering with several Ohio electric cooperatives to answer members\u2019 voting questions during a Zoom webinar on September 25 from 2-3 p.m. The first half of the virtual meeting will provide information on where and how Ohioans can vote on November 3, deadlines to be aware of, and how they can make a difference. The second part of the event will include live a Q&A with LaRose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ohio co-ops co-hosting the event includeMidwest Electric<\/a>, North Western Electric Cooperative<\/a>, Tricounty REC<\/a>, and Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative<\/a>. America\u2019s 900 electric cooperatives serve more than 42 million members in 47 states with an established grassroots network<\/a> to represent their members\u2019 interests with elected officials. Ohio co-ops share the same mission: increase rural voter turnout, help members make their voice heard in their community and country, and support the democratic process — a guiding principle that leads co-ops themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
