Voting At Your Precinct Polling Place
|
Where do I vote?
You cast your ballot at your precinct's designated polling
place, unless you vote a provisional ballot. If you do not
know where your precinct polling place is located, contact
your county board of elections. If you have access to the
Internet, you may visit the Secretary of State's Web site,
www.sos.state.oh.us
for the location of your polling place, or click here for
the Lucas County Polling Locator.
How do I vote?
Instructions for casting a ballot are posted in each
polling place. If you have any question about how to mark
or cast your ballot, or if you have incorrectly marked or
torn a ballot, immediately contact the precinct election
officials (poll workers) for instructions before you cast
your ballot.
May I receive assistance in voting?
A voter with a physical or mental disability or who is
unable to read or write may be assisted by anyone of the
voter's choice, except a candidate whose candidacy is
being voted on in that precinct, the voter's employer or
the employer's agent, or an officer or agent of the voter's
union. The voter also may be assisted by two poll workers
of different political parties. No one who assists a voter
may disclose any information about how that person voted.
How do I establish which political party's ballot I am entitled to vote?
In a partisan primary, you may vote the primary ballot of
the political party with which you currently wish to be
affiliated. If you voted the primary ballot of a different
political party in 2004 or 2005, you will complete
a statement at your polling place confirming the change in
your political party affiliation.
May I vote on ballot issues at a primary election without declaring my party
affiliation?
Yes. You may vote on the issues and questions, if any, that
are on the ballot in your precinct by requesting an
"issues-only" ballot.
Will I need an ID to Vote?
Yes. Every voter will be required to provide proof of
identity before voting. The form of identification that you
may use includes your current and valid photo identification
card, military identification, copy of utility bill, bank
statement, paycheck, government check, or government document
showing your name and current address. (Note: You cannot use
as proof of identification a notice that the board of
elections mailed to you.) If you do not have, or fail or
refuse to provide, the required proof of identity, you may
cast a provisional ballot. Click here to view provisional
ballot information.
