*** Attention Ohio *** Voting Laws Have Changed

*** NEW ***

• You must have a valid, unexpired Photo ID to vote in person
• There is no longer Early Vote on the Monday before Election Day
• If your county Board of Elections uses a dropbox, it will be open 24/7 once Early Vote starts

GOOD NEWS: You can still Vote by mail with your social security number if you don’t have a Photo ID

How to request and vote an absentee ballot (no Photo ID required)

• Absentee ballots must be requested at least 7 days before Election Day. Request your ballot as early as possible. 
• Carefully follow all directions and complete the absentee ballot application form, print and return (mail or drop off) to your county Board of Elections office. 
• Vote your ballot and return as soon as possible. Mail or drop off your ballot to your county Board of Elections office. Use one stamp per page if mailing.
• Track your ballot at voteohio.gov.
• Voted ballots must be postmarked by the day before Election Day and received by the 4th day after Election Day.

What’s a Valid Photo ID?

Ohio Driver’s License (including temporary, suspended or restricted), Ohio ID Card, US Passport, Ohio issued National Guard ID, US Military ID, or US Dept. of Veterans Affairs ID.
