The time to make your plans to vote is NOW! 

Regardless of whether you identify with a particular party or side, your vote is your chance to make a difference.  Your vote is crucial to our democracy. Your vote allows us to decide who are leaders will be and how we will choose to be governed.  

At Lardiere McNair & Stonebrook we believe that for an effective democracy to exist, every vote matters and we encourage every eligible citizen to exercise their right to vote.  We believe in the Rule of Law and the peaceful transfer of power.

All of the necessary information is easily found at: https://www.ohiosos.gov/elections/voters/
If you are aware of any eligible voters who are not registered, now is the time to encourage them to register and make their voices heard. 

Despite any press to the contrary, it is still easy to vote in Ohio, and you have many options for voting formats.  Now is the time to check your registration or to register and find out where your polling site is located. Did you know that right now you can request an Absentee Ballot?

You might not be able to take off work on Election Day… You might be concerned about long lines… You may have childcare issues to worry about… You might be concerned about intimidation at the polling sites… There may be endless other circumstances that might keep you from the polls on Election Day.
If there are any concerns you might not make it to the polls – request your absentee ballot and make a plan. 
Please make your plan to vote now and encourage others to do so too.
                                                                        
Sincerely,
Chris Lardiere, Esq.
