One common mistake we see around Election time is whether or not you are registered to vote, maybe you moved or just haven’t been to the polls in some time. We will list a few resources to help make sure you are registered and ready to vote in November.
Check your current Registration
One easy step you can take is to see if you are registered and if you are registered at the correct address by heading to the Voter Information Search
From here you can request an absentee ballot, find your polling location, become a poll worker, or see what the sample ballot looks like when its available.
You can also see If you voted up to the last 20 elections.

If you happened to do the a search and cant find yourself, or need to update your information you can do so by heading over to the Ohio Secretary of State Website
You must register or update your voter registration no later than 30 days prior to an election. Upcoming voter registration deadlines:
