The Primary Election scheduled for  March 17, 2020 has been extended until April 28, 2020.

 

Because of potential confusion related to changes in the date of the primary election the League of Women Voters of Toledo-Lucas County would like to remind Ohio voters of the steps necessary to participate in the primary election.  We are urging news outlets to remind voters, who have not yet voted, that they still can vote in the primary. They must however request an application for a ballot from the board of elections, return the application to the board, receive their ballot and then return that ballot by April 28, if they return it in person or it must be postmarked by April 27 if returned by US Mail.

 

All voting will be by absentee ballot except for voters with a disability who require in-person voting and voters who do not have a home mailing address.

 

See detailed instructions below on how to receive the application and the ballot and the pertinent deadlines. 

 

All voting will be Vote By Mail using an absentee ballot except for voters with a disability who require in-person voting and voters who do not have a home mailing address.

Do nothing if you have already voted in this Primary Election.  Your vote will be counted.

You must have been registered to vote by February 18, 2020 to vote in this Primary Election.

Voting by Mail  is a two-step process.

 

Step 1: Request an absentee ballot application from your local Board of Elections by calling them or by going to their website and printing out an application or by sending a letter requesting an application that includes your name, address, date of birth, and the last four digits of your social security number of your drivers license or Ohio Id number. Mail your completed application, postmarked on or before 04/25/20 .
