COLUMBUS — The Ohio legislature voted Wednesday to eliminate a four-day post-election grace period that allowed several thousand mail-in absentee ballots across the state to be counted in the 2024 presidential election. The vote came weeks after the state was threatened by the U.S. Department of Justice.

The bill would end Ohio’s absentee ballot grace period and add new voter registration reviews. Lawmakers Josh Williams and Theresa Gavarone supported the measure.
