Ohio voters will be receiving official absentee ballot applications in the mail this week. Here is everything you need to know if you plan on voting by mail this election.
Ohioans who choose to vote by mail must return their complete absentee ballot application form to their county's Board of Elections to receive their absentee ballot for the November 5 Presidential Election.
It is recommended that voters submit those applications as quickly as possible to ensure the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has time to process their absentee ballot request.
Absentee ballots will be sent out to those who requested them beginning November 8. They can be returned via mail with appropriate postage or hand-delivered to your county's Board of Elections.
Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has shared some tips for voters who plan on voting by mail this election. Those tips can be read below.
- Double check the information on your application including the date you filled it out, your identifying information and your signature.
- Include your email or phone number. County Boards of Elections will call or email voters who may need to remedy information on their ballot request form or absentee ballot envelope.
- Don't procrastinate. Mail out your ballot request as soon as possible to accommodate for processing time at your county's Board of Elections and delivery from USPS.
- Track you ballot. As long as your ballot is postmarked by the day before the election and received within four days after the election, your vote will be counted. You can track you ballot by clicking here.
