Did you hear? Thanks to the ACLU’s lawsuit against unfair voter restrictions, Ohioans will have the following opportunities to vote early:

Early voting lasts from September 30 through November 3.

  • Golden Week: Weekdays starting September 30 and running through October 6, you can register and vote in-person on the same day. Boards of election are open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. these days, except October 6, where boards will be open until 9 p.m.
  • Weekend voting: Two weekends are available: October 25-26 and November 1-2. Boards of election will be open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturdays and 1-5 p.m. on Sundays. Early voting will also be available from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. on Monday, November 3.
  • Evening voting: On weekdays from October 20-31, there will be evening hours for early in-person voting. Boards of election will be open from 8 a.m.-7 p.m.
