Are you planning to vote in the 2022 general election? The deadline for Ohioans to register to vote is next Tuesday, Oct. 11, which is less than a week away. Read on for more information about important election-related dates, how to register, and how to check that your voter registration information is correct.
Those wanting to vote in the Nov. 8 general election must register to vote and/or update their voting information by Ohio’s Oct. 11 registration deadline. Ohio requires that voters register at least 30 days before the election. They can register online, in-person or by mail. Those who are already registered to vote can check to make sure their voting information is correct using the Ohio Secretary of State’s online voter search tool.
Ohio’s Secretary of State allows voters to register online using the online voter registration system on their website.
Voter registration forms are available on campus and can be dropped off at the Office of Student Affairs in Building 10, Room 202. Those wanting to register in-person in Montgomery County can do so at a variety of locations, including the Montgomery County Board of Elections and public high schools and libraries in the area.
Montgomery County voters can also download and print out this form and mail it to the address listed there. Mail-in voter registration forms must be postmarked no later than Oct. 11 to be processed in time for the general election.
Absentee by mail and early in-person voting begin on Oct. 12. Election Day is Nov. 8 and polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. – 7:30 p.m. Voters can find their polling location using the Ohio Secretary of State’s voter search and polling location search and can learn more about important election dates on their 2022 voting schedule page.
