STEP 3: VOTE !
In Ohio, we have 4 weeks to vote each election. As we learned from the public health emergency and the 2020 primary election, voting early by mail (VBM) or in person will ensure your vote is counted.
-
VBM: It's easy and those ballots get counted first on election night. You must request a vote by mail ballot. Your ballot will be mailed to you beginning October 6. You can return your completed ballot by mail or drop it in the box in the parking lot of the board of elections at 2925 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland.
