Voting can begin tomorrow


YOUNGSTOWN — Those wanting to cast a ballot in the election don’t have to wait until Nov. 4.

They can start Tuesday thanks to the state’s early-voting law.

Elections board officials in Mahoning and Trumbull say they’re ready.

While the Columbiana County Board of Elections is obligated under state law to provide ballots Tuesday to those who want to vote — and will do so — officials there are asking people to wait until the end of the week to do so.

The ballots haven’t arrived at the elections board from Dayton Legal Blank, said Lois Gall, the county’s deputy elections director. Board employees can print a ballot from its voting machines for those who don’t want to wait, she said.

That could take some time, particularly if a lot of people want to vote early, Gall said.
