**Transparency** is a cornerstone of democracy, and Ohio is setting a new standard for electoral integrity with the launch of an innovative portal that empowers citizens to monitor voter rolls actively.
On Monday, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose unveiled a cutting-edge online tool designed to enhance transparency in the state's voter registration process.
This initiative allows Ohio residents to receive daily updates on changes to voter registrations across all 88 counties, including new sign-ups, updates, and removals from the rolls.
LaRose emphasized that “Transparency earns trust,” and expressed his commitment to ensuring that Ohio is a model for elections nationwide.
The new data portal comes in the wake of what has been called the “smoothest presidential election in Ohio’s history,” and aims to further bolster public confidence in the electoral system.
Citizens utilizing this tool can "crowdsource" information and report discrepancies to state officials, leading to a more accountable and accurate voter registration process.
This initiative is part of a broader legislative strategy known as the DATA Act, which was passed last July and aims to improve the management of election data.
LaRose's office is making strides in increasing voter roll accuracy after Ohio's recent decision to withdraw from the controversial Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a move aimed at eliminating doubts regarding voter roll integrity.
With this withdrawal, Ohio joins other Republican-led states like Texas and Florida, choosing to take back control over their voter registration processes rather than rely on outside organizations that may not prioritize accurate data.
The launch of this portal signifies a new era of election integrity efforts in Ohio, empowering citizens to play an active role in maintaining clean and transparent elections.
As states across the nation continue to grapple with issues of election security, Ohio's proactive measures may serve as a blueprint for others looking to enhance trust and accountability within their electoral systems.
