You are entitled to vote by absentee ballot in Ohio without providing a reason. Absentee ballot applications may
be obtained from your county board of elections or from the Secretary of State at:
or by calling 1-877-767-6446.
OHIO VOTER IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Voters must bring identification to the polls in order to verify identity. Identification may include a current and
valid photo identification, a military identification, or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government
check, paycheck, or other government document, other than a notice of an election or a voter registration
notification sent by a board of elections, that shows the voter’s name and current address. Voters who do
not provide one of these documents will still be able to vote by providing the last four digits of the voter’s
Social Security number and by casting a provisional ballot. Voters who do not have any of the above forms of
identification, including a Social Security number, will still be able to vote by signing an affirmation swearing to
the voter’s identity under penalty of election falsification and by casting a provisional ballot. For more information
on voter identification requirements, please consult the Secretary of State’s website at:
or call 1-877-767-6446.
WHOEVER COMMITS ELECTION FALSIFICATION IS GUILTY
OF A FELONY OF THE FIFTH DEGREE.
