Ohio no longer counts mail ballots that arrive after Election Day so if you choose to vote by mail please return your ballot as soon as possible using two stamps. After you've mailed the ballot, keep checking the board of elections tracker: if Election Day is approaching and your ballot hasn't been received, you can still vote during early in-person voting or provisionally at your polling location on Election Day.
If you choose to vote by mail: request early, vote early and track your ballot.
*** You can also drop off your ballot 24/7 at the Board of Elections drop box and ensure your ballot makes it before election day
