Any eligible voter can also vote early in-person at your county board of elections, starting on the day after voter registration closes (Oct. 5).
Polls are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3.
You need to bring ID. If you don't, you can request a provisional ballot. (ID rules my vary for absentee ballots and first-time voters.) See more options below.
What if I do not have a valid ID?
If you do not have a valid ID, you can cast a provisional ballot by providing your Ohio driver's license, state identification number or the last four digits of your Social Security number. Once the information is reviewed and verified by the board of elections, your ballot will be counted.
You may need to cast a provisional ballot if your voter status is in flux. This could be because you recently moved and have not updated your voter information by the Oct. 5 deadline. For more information and scenarios which may require you to cast a provisional ballot, click here.
