Akron, we’ve got somewhere to be.
Voting is about more than Election Day. It’s one way LGBTQ+/SGL people, our families, and our communities have a say in the decisions that affect our lives.

Join us and Kelley Robinson, President of the Human Rights Campaign, for a Get Out the Vote Rally as we come together, get informed, and get ready to vote.

Bring somebody with you. Come ready to connect. Leave ready to vote.

We’ll see y'all there.

Voting While Trans in Ohio (2026 Edition)

Your gender identity can not keep you from casting your ballot.

If your voter registration and identification don't show the same name, don't assume you can't vote.

Check out our detailed guide here: https://www.transohio.org/votingwhiletrans2026

Ohio election officials have a procedure for voters who have legally changed their name.
