ELECTION DAY Voting

ELECTION DAY Voting

Don’t forget your ID

The polls in Ohio are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. When you vote, you need to bring identification. All ID must show the voter’s name and current address. Acceptable forms of identification include:

A current and valid photo identification, such as a driver’s license or state ID card.

A military ID.

A copy of a utility bill that is no more than 12 months old.

A bank statement, government check, a paycheck or a government document other than a voter registration acknowledgement notification mailed by the board of elections.

Voters who do not provide one of these documents at the polling place still will be able to vote a provisional ballot. They have to provide proper identification to the board of elections within the 10 days after Tuesday’s election.

Voters who do not have any of the above forms of identification, including a Social Security number, still will be able to vote by signing an affirmation statement swearing to the voter’s identity under penalty of election falsification and by casting a provisional ballot.
