Ohio Implements Advanced Voter Data Dashboard Enhancing Election Transparency

The upcoming November 2025 elections across various U.S. jurisdictions feature mail-in and in-person voting options, with important deadlines such as October 24 to request replacement ballots and October 28 to mail ballots back in Maricopa County, Arizona. In Ohio, early voting and absentee voting begin on October 28, with the election day set for November 4; voters must register by the Monday before the election. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has introduced a new voter registration data dashboard to increase transparency and trust in the electoral process, providing detailed registration and voting data down to the precinct level. Meanwhile, in Michigan's Ottawa and Kent Counties, voters will decide on several local proposals, including school millage renewals and increases to fund school operations, building repairs, security improvements, technology upgrades, and community projects. These elections highlight efforts to maintain voter access and transparency while addressing local funding needs through property tax proposals.
