Voting Rights

State of Ohio v. Urbanek (Amicus)

Mr. Edward Urbanek鈥檚 conviction is inconsistent with federal voting rights. Specifically, the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) requires that states allow a voter to complete a provisional ballot when their registration status or eligibility cannot be verified immediately. Under the Ohio courts' interpretation, any voter who completes a provisional ballot and is ultimately found ineligible is 鈥渁ttempting鈥 to vote unlawfully. That interpretation would defeat the purpose of HAVA and provisional ballots.
