Elect Democrats!
The Democratic Party of Delaware County, Ohio has a mission: get local Democrats elected. We do this by energizing local Democrats, helping to identify, encourage and support local Democratic candidates, and challenging the county’s long-standing single-party rule at every opportunity. Naturally, we also do whatever we can to support state- and national-level Democratic candidates.
General Election: November 7, 2023
Ohio has elections every year! There are no “off” years. While we do not have any county races, nor anything higher than that, there are more than 80 elected positions that will be on our November ballot.
Time left until the polls open
Reproductive Freedom
The Reproductive Freedom amendment will be on the November ballot. The amendment empowers Ohioans to make reproductive healthcare decisions free from government interference, and aims to ensure that we have access to safe, legal, equitable, and comprehensive reproductive medical care including abortion, birth control, infertility treatment, and miscarriage care.
Thanks to the efforts of dozens of organizations and thousands of volunteers, on July 25 the Secretary of State announced that 495,938 valid signatures had been recorded. That’s about 20% more than the 413,000 required, and it met the minimum requirements in 55 counties, 11 more than the 44 required.
