Pick your plan

Three ways to vote. Pick one, say it out loud, and it is a plan.

  • Vote early

    Oct 6 to Nov 1 at your county board of elections. No appointment. Bring your photo ID.

    Find my county board

    My plan is to vote early at my county board of elections this week.

  • Vote absentee

    Your request must reach your county board of elections by Tuesday Oct 27, 8:30 pm. Your ballot must be back there by Tuesday Nov 3, 7:30 pm. No photo ID needed.

    Request an absentee ballot

    My plan is to request my absentee ballot today and send it back the day it arrives.

  • Vote Nov 3

    Polls are open 6:30 am to 7:30 pm. If you are in line at closing, you vote. Bring your photo ID.

    Find my polling place

    My plan is to vote at my polling place on Tuesday Nov 3 before 7:30 pm.

Bring your ID

Ohio asks for a photo ID to vote in person. Check your wallet now.

  • Ohio driver's license or state ID (unexpired; an old address is fine if your current address is in the pollbook)
  • BMV interim ID form

  • Ohio National Guard ID
  • U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ID

Not accepted

Good to know

  • A free Ohio state ID is available at any BMV agency.
