The Office of the Ohio Secretary of State would like to recognize the service of our brave veterans and provide encouragement to our citizens to vote through the Vote in Honor of a Veteran program.

Anyone who has a family member, friend or neighbor in the armed services understands the unwavering dedication and patriotism of these men and women. Through the Vote in Honor of a Veteran initiative,

you can demonstrate the pride you feel for an individual veteran and, at the same time, encourage others to exercise one of our most sacred rights we have when you go to the polls on Election Day.

By participating in the program and wearing a Vote in Honor of a Veteran pin on Election Day, you will help raise awareness about the importance of voting and highlight the inextricable bond between our veterans and democracy.

Fill out a Vote in Honor of a Veteran card, once your card is completed and returned, the tribute to the individual veteran for whom you are voting may be posted in the testimonial section of our website.* Here you can read your message and messages from others who support our veterans.

You can also help spread the message about honoring our veterans through voting by downloading response card forms or posters from our website to get others involved in the Vote in Honor of a Veteran program.

If you prefer, please call (614) 995-1697 for Vote in Honor of a Veteran response cards, posters, or for more information about the project. Thank you for your interest in promoting both the tireless work of our veterans and democracy in Ohio.
