Voter registration hours extended to 9 p.m. Monday

YOUNGSTOWN

Boards of elections throughout Ohio will remain open Monday until 9 p.m. to handle last-minute voter registrations.

Monday is the deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 4 general election.

Mahoning and Columbiana counties’ boards open at 8 a.m. Monday while Trumbull County opens at 8:30 a.m.

To register in person, you need to include either your driver’s license number or the last four digits of your Social Security number on the written application.

The Mahoning County Board of Elections is located in Oakhill Renaissance Place, 345 Oak Hill Ave. in Youngstown.

Trumbull’s board is at 2947 Youngstown Road S.E. in Warren, and Columbiana County’s board office is at 7989 Dickey Drive in Lisbon.

Early in-person voting starts at 8 a.m. Tuesday at the board offices. Boards of elections can also accept absentee votes by mail starting Tuesday.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday, in a 5-4 decision, that lower federal courts had overstepped their authority by adding a week of in-person early voting — that would have allowed voters to cast ballots starting this past Tuesday — and additional Sundays.
