Absentee voting begins 35 days before primary and general elections and
ends the day before the election.
Once absentee ballots are available for voting, an absentee voter may either vote in person at the county board of elections office, or receive and return the absentee ballot via U.S. Mail.
A qualified Ohio voter does not have to state a reason to vote by an absentee ballot, although the ballot must be applied for in writing. If you are properly registered to vote, you must submit your written request to the board of elections of the county in which your voting residence is located. Your request must contain certain information and your original signature. You may, but are not required to, use the application form prescribed by the Ohio Secretary of State (Form 11-A).
