What you need to know now
How to register to vote: You can click here to register online. You can also download an application from the Secretary of State website, print it, and mail it to: Trumbull County Board of Elections, 2947 Youngstown Road SE, Warren, OH 44484.
Documents you need to register online: Ohio driver's license or state ID with number; name; date of birth; address; last four digits of your Social Security number.
When to register to vote: To vote in the Nov. 2 election, your registration application must be received by mail, or delivered to the board of elections office, or online no later than Monday, Oct. 4. Boards of elections offices are open Oct. 4 until 9 p.m.
Who can register to vote: U.S. citizens, at least 18 years old on or before Nov. 2, 2021, and a resident of Ohio for at least 30 days before the election.
If I'm already registered, should I check my voter registration?: Yes. You can do so at the Secretary of State website.
How to request an absentee/mail-in ballot: If you choose not to vote at a public polling location on Election Day, you can request a ballot in advance — called absentee voting. Voters can click here to print the form from the Secretary of State website. Though the board of elections may have received your application, it won't start mailing absentee ballots until Oct. 5.
When to request an absentee/mail-in ballot: You can request an absentee ballot now for the general election on Nov. 2. The window to request is open until three days before the election but in practicality that deadline leaves little time for the postal service to get the ballot to you and for you to return it.
When and how to return an absentee/mail-in ballot: Your completed ballot must be postmarked — at the latest — by Nov. 1, the day before the election. Placing the ballot in a mailbox does not guarantee that it will be postmarked. Deliver it personally to a post office and request that it be marked. It's your responsibility to make sure it has enough postage. Alternatively, you can drop it off in person at your county board of elections during business hours and before the polls close at 7:30 p.m. on Election Day. You don't have to wait until Election Day to deliver.
In Trumbull County, the absentee ballot dropbox resembles a mailbox and is located just outside the main entrance of the elections offices at 2947 Youngstown Road SE.
Can I track my absentee/mail-in ballot? Yes. Click here to track your absentee ballot on the county board of elections website.
How, where and when to vote early in-person: You can vote early at the county elections office, 2947 Youngstown Road SE, Warren, OH 44484, which will open for early voting Oct. 5, 28 days before Election Day (Nov. 2). You'll need identification, such as a driver's license, bank statement, utility bill, pay stub, military or state ID to vote.
All Ohio board of elections offices have extended hours to accommodate early voters:
• Tuesday, Oct. 5 to Friday, Oct. 8: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Monday, Oct. 11: Columbus Day [elections offices will be closed]
• Tuesday, Oct. 12 to Friday, Oct. 15: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Monday, Oct. 18 to Friday, Oct. 22: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Monday, Oct. 25 to Friday, Oct. 29: 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• Saturday, Oct. 30: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Sunday, Oct. 31: 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
• Monday, Nov. 1: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Where do I vote on Election Day? On Election Day, Nov. 2, you'll visit your polling place to vote in-person. If you're already registered to vote, you can look up your polling place on the county elections board's website. If you've already cast an absentee or mail-in ballot or voted early in-person, you won't be able to vote on Election Day.
How to be a poll worker: Ohio relies on 35,000 registered, bipartisan voters to work the polls on Election Day. Because many poll workers are of retirement age, they face increased health risks due to COVID-19. Last year, there was high interest in expanding the hiring pool to include younger people. Pay varies by county.
