Marking the 100-day milestone to Election Day, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose urged Ohio voters today to start making a plan and noting key dates to participate in the November 5th general election.
“Every Ohioan who’s eligible to vote in this election should have a plan to know how, when, and where to cast a ballot,” said Secretary LaRose. “That starts with having a trusted source of election information. It might be your county board of elections or the VoteOhio.gov website maintained by our office, but it’s important to make sure you double-check key info such as your polling location, your voting hours, and what identification you need to show when you vote. It’s also helpful to plan ahead and decide whether you want to vote early by mail, early in person, or at the polls on Election Day. Now is the time to start preparing.”
