We are only days away from Election Day and we hope that you have either already voted or have plans in place to vote by November 3rd! A lot is at stake this election and infants and toddlers are counting on YOU to vote for their future. Voting for young children is important because elected officials at every level of government will be responsible for making public policy decisions that will greatly impact the everyday lives of Ohio’s children and their future success. We created a simple toolkit for you to find information on why voting for children matters, how to vote, key election dates, questions to ask candidates, sample social media and blog posts, graphics, and more to help amplify this message to your family, friends, and colleagues that infants and toddlers are counting on their votes.
