You can drop it off at your county clerk’s office or mail it back in that included envelope. If you mail it back, you should use two stamps. Either way, your ballot must be returned to the county clerk’s office by the end of the day Tuesday, November 3.

3 Ways to Absentee Vote:
In-person (early) by mail, or traveling board
IN-PERSON ABSENTEE VOTING begins Oct 6
*1st class postage pre-paid return security envelope provided
*The voter, the voter’s designated agent, a bonded courier, or a member of the voter’s immediate household may hand-deliver a completed absentee ballot to the county election board.
Any person other than voter doing so must complete ABS-19 affidavit.
*A voter who had their absentee ballot rejected by county officials may appear before the county election board not later than 5PM on Election Day to request an ABS-21 form and then go to their polling place to vote a regular ballot, if otherwise qualified.

TRAVELING BOARD
Absentee voting by travel board is an option for some voters to have a bi-partisan team deliver the voter’s ballot and assist the person with completing their ballot during the 19-day period before the election. In order to vote absentee-by-traveling board, one of the following must apply:
The voter expects to be confined, due to illness or injury, or the voter expects to be caring for a confined person at a private residence, on Election Day.
The voter is a voter with disabilities and believes their polling place is not accessible to them.
The voter is physically unable to complete the ballot and sign the affidavit on their own.

EMERGENCY BALLOT
County board of elections must approve an emergency ballot by unanimous vote in cases where a person has been hospitalized or suffered an injury that would prevent the person from voting at the polls after the deadline for applying for an absentee ballot. The state election division prescribes a way for military and public safety officers to vote when responding to an emergency

**Voters can appoint spouse, parents, or children, to PICK UP their Absentee Ballot

*County clerks must highlight the two places on the ballot envelopes where voters must sign, to avoid the problem of voters not realizing they must sign twice.
*Counties must notify voters regarding ANY rejected ballot and give that voter an opportunity to cure the error. That means that missing signature, mismatched signature, removal of flap, etc. can be corrected until 6 days after election.

*Election Day voting. Each county must have at least one Vote Center where any voter in the county may go.
Counties must seek approval of Gov and SOS for reducing polling places — an attempt to avoid the single-polling-place-per-county problem.
* There will be fewer polling places because of a lack of poll workers. But hopefully counties will submit sensible plans, and both the (Dem) Gov and (Repub) SOS must agree to those plans to reduce polling places.

Drop Boxes
One ballot drop box is available outside of each Ohio county’s board of election offices, per an order from Secretary of State Frank LaRose that banned counties from offering more than one. An Ohio judge said restricting the number of boxes is “arbitrary and unreasonable,” but the judge didn’t bar LaRose from enforcing the order.
LaRose’s office later said the order remains in effect, and it plans to appeal the judge’s opinion.
Drop Box litigation continues, so one Drop Box per county remains in effect for now.
