Info on what you need I.D. wise to vote at the polls on Tuesday.....know your rights and don't allow poll workers to deny your right to vote on a regular ballot!

  ELECTION DAY VOTING
You DO need an ID to vote a regular ballot on election day, but it DOES NOT need to be a photo ID.  Any of the following will work:

       
  • A current and valid photo identification card issued by the State of Ohio or the United States government; or
  • A military identification ("military ID"); or
  • An original or copy of a current utility bill; or
  • An original or copy of a current bank statement; or
  • An original or copy of a current government check; or
  • An original or copy of a current paycheck; or
  • An original or copy of a current other government document, other than a voter registration acknowledgement notification mailed by the board of elections, that shows the voter's name and current address.
Important: Your Ohio driver's license DOES NOT need to show your current address.  As long as your ID has not expired and your current address is printed on the official poll list you can still vote a regular ballot.

VOTING PROVISIONALLY
DO NOT let anyone force you to vote provisionally simply because your Ohio driver's license address is not current.  As we mentioned above – as long as the address on the poll list is current YOU MAY VOTE A REGULAR BALLOT.

If you forget your ID they still must let you vote a provisional ballot, but it will not be counted on election day, so you want to avoid voting provisionally if at all possible.  So bring ID!

The polls are open from 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m on Election Day (Tuesday).
