On Tuesday, November 4th, Ohio voters will elect a slew of statewide offices and decide on many local issues.

Ohioans Can Start Early Voting on April Fool’s Day

Ohioans will vote on primary races for statewide offices, including Governor, as well as a statewide ballot issue that would allow the state to issue bonds for some capital improvements. There are more than 600 local issues on the ballot too.

On April first, election boards will start to mail out absentee ballots to those who have requested them, or Ohioans who want to vote early, in person, can vote at the early voting center designated by their county board of elections. 

An important deadline is looming if you want to vote in the May primary.  Ohioans must register to vote by April 7th.  And voters should also update their address to make sure they don’t have to cast a provisional ballot.  But the good news is they can change their address and update their registration online at the Secretary of State’s website at myohiovote.com.  The actual Election day is May 6th.
