Your Responsibilities as an Ohio Voter

It is YOUR Vote, YOUR Right and YOUR Responsibility

It is important to know the rules before you cast your ballot to ensure your focus on Election Day can be about the candidates and issues and not on the process for electing them.

• Register to vote at least 30 days prior to Election Day and keep your address and personal information up-to-date with your county board of elections;
• If voting at the polls on Election Day, know your correct precinct and polling place to ensure you are casting the correct ballot, and
• Don’t forget to bring your identification. Click here for the types of identification accepted at the polling location or with your mail-in absentee ballot.

Keeping these three simple things in mind, you can exercise your right and participate fully in the greatest democracy in the world.
