Sharing this post concerning what may be coming to your mailbox soon! The Ohio Secretary of State's Office will be sending absentee ballot requests to every registered voter ahead of the November election. Preparations are currently under way, and the first batch of applications is expected to begin arriving in voter mailboxes around Labor Day.
✔️ If you do NOT want to vote by mail, just throw the application away.
✔️ If you have already submitted a request, no further action is needed, simply throw the application away!

❓As always, call us at 419.636.1854 if you have questions!

Absentee Application Facts 💡

An absentee application is not a ballot. It is a request to have a ballot mailed to your home.

You only need to submit one application for each election. Our staff carefully reviews and verifies each application before a ballot is issued.

During higher turnout elections, you may receive applications from various groups or the Ohio Secretary of State. Our office will mail an application to your home only upon request.

If you do not want to vote by mail, you may simply discard the application.
