Election reform efforts to expand ballot access made little headway around the Ohio Valley, as only one state in the region made voting easier, according to a voting rights expert.
Several state governments around the nation are making major changes to voting laws following the 2020 presidential election.
Kentucky is the only state in the Ohio Valley that passed significant voting changes. Lawmakers in the state passed a bipartisan election reform bill, House Bill 574, that made a few pandemic- era voting changes permanent, with some adjustments.
Some of those changes include three days of in-person early voting, making permanent some features on the state’s online election portal, and more voting center options for counties.
