Congratulations seniors. Your hard work has paid off, and you will soon be moving onto the next exciting phase of your life. No matter what path you choose, I encourage you to make a commitment now to become a full participant in our democracy by registering to vote.

As young adults, you have been afforded the opportunity and great responsibility to elect the next generation of leaders and in doing so, provide direction on public policy that impacts the daily lives of you and your fellow Americans.

To participate in this year’s elections, simply fill out the voter registration form you may have already received, or click here to download an additional form, and return it to my office:

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted
180 East Broad St., 15th Floor
Columbus, Ohio 43215

Completed forms must be received at least 30 days before the election. Soon after, you will receive more specific information from your county board of elections on your correct precinct and polling location. In the meantime, you can browse this site to learn more about the voting process, your responsibilities, how you can take advantage of voting by mail and even how you can get more involved in the elections process by volunteering to be a precinct election official on Election Day.

Jon Husted
Ohio Secretary of State
