Democratic Nomination Straw Vote  

Lakewood, Ohio Democratic Club Sponsoring Dem Nomination Straw Vote

Would your organization be willing to cosponsor an Ohio Democratic Presidential Straw Poll this Jan 31? The Lakewood Democratic Club has secured a time and location and would like to include as many Northeast Ohio Democrats as possible. We hope you can team up with us to put on Northeast Ohio's first-ever (to our knowledge) straw poll!

Why should Iowa and New Hampshire have all the fun? It's our turn to have our say! This event will give Ohio Democrats the chance to cast an early vote for their choice for the Democratic Presidential Nominee BEFORE Super Duper Tuesday (Feb. 5). The winner of the straw poll will be publicly announced to let the media know who Ohioans want for president.

By cosponsoring, you agree to:

• Lend your name to the event
• Publicize the event to your members
• Ask your members if they can volunteer to run the even (e.g. set up, break down, check in table, count votes, etc.)

There is no cost to your organization.

Eligibility To Vote:  Any 18+ year old Ohio resident may cast one vote for the cost of $5 (funds defray cost of event).  Voters must be physically present; no proxy voting.  Non-registered persons can vote in the straw poll, then register to vote in the official March 4 primary.

DEADLINE:  If you can cosponsor, please let us know by Sun, Jan 13 so we can include you on the flier and still have time to publicize the event.

Sincerely,

Tom Bullock
Lakewood Democratic Club, 1st Vice President
