Voter Information

Voting is an important right. Every eligible voter should participate in every election because public policy impacts all of us. Voting is not complicated, but you must stay informed because things can change – like your voting location, how you prove your identity, election dates, absentee ballot rules and more. For example, the Ohio legislature recently voted to require photo IDs from governmental agencies such as the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) or a U.S . Military Service. That means county-issued Veteran ID cards are no longer accepted.
