"Ohio has voter ID and registration requirements that vary if you're an out of state or in state student. CDO is bringing you all the info you'll need to know for upcoming elections happening across the state. 

In this election guide created by CDO for the October 10th general election in 2023, we highlight the key differences you need to know if you're voting in Ohio or from outside of the state. 

The College Democrats of Ohio is committed to providing voters across the state with the vital information that voters will need to have their voices heard. As the GOP increasingly attempts to silence our voices, we want you to know how to navigate the increasingly difficult electoral system in Ohio. "

"Ohio students, this isn't just happening 'somewhere else.' The question is no longer about whether it will affect you-it's about how you'll respond when it comes to your door.

Right here in the Buckeye State, ICE arrested nearly 1,000 people in Ohio between January and June (Cleveland.com), while three Ohio sheriff's departments just signed agreements with ICE to aid in deportations (WKRC Cincinnati). Multiple news outlets have reported cases of international students at OSU, Kent State, UC, and the University of Akron having their visas revoked without warning!

This is happening on our campuses, in our communities, to our classmates. 

When rumors spread on social media telling people to 'Report Illegal Aliens' and 20 people were detained in Northeast Ohio (News 5 Cleveland), we're witnessing the real-time destruction of the Ohio we know and love. 

We can't give up hope. Ohio college students have power. We vote. We organize. We refuse to stay silent when our friends and neighbors are targeted. 

Our democracy is being tested. Are we going to pass?"

"POV: DeWine vetoed 76 items but STILL choosing rich donors over students. The math isn't mathing. 

$1B+ stadium deal ✅

Career programs for studnets ❌

Tax breaks for the wealthy ✅

Medicaid for 770k Ohioans ❌

This is literally a wealth transfer from OUR generation to theirs. 

But plot twist: We have the power to corrext course--every call you make to your reps matters. Every friend you register to vote make a difference. The more we organize together, the stronger we get. 

The revolution will be organized. Are you in?"
