Larose available to answer questions

Have questions about voting in this fall’s election? Ohio Secretary of State Frank Larose is here to help, and he’s meeting Ohioans right where they are — virtually.

Larose is partnering with several Ohio electric cooperatives, including Midwest Electric to answer members’ voting questions during a Zoom webinar on Friday, Sept. 25 from 2-3 p.m. The first half of the virtual meeting will provide information on where and how Ohioans can vote on Nov. 3, deadlines to be aware of, and how they can make a difference. The second part of the event will include live a question and answer session with Larose.

The Ohio co-ops co-hosting the event also include North Western Electric Cooperative, Tricounty REC, and Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative. America’s 900 electric cooperatives serve more than 42 million members in 47 states with an established grassroots network to represent their members’ interests with elected officials. Ohio co-ops share the same mission: increase rural voter turnout, help members make their voice heard in their community and country, and support the democratic process – a guiding principle that leads co-ops themselves.

The hour-long Zoom webinar is free to attend. To register or learn more, click here. Co-op members can also visit their local electric cooperative’s website or email skuhn@ppec.coop to get the registration information. Facebook users can find more information using the event link here.
