Saturday, October 24 was the first weekend day of early voting in this cycle, when the office was open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Voters who have not yet cast a ballot can still vote early in person at the board office, request a mail ballot, or wait to vote at their precinct polling place on Election Day.
On Tuesday, November 3, polls in Ashland County open at 6:30 a.m. and remain open until 7:30 p.m. Voters casting a ballot on Election Day must go to their assigned precinct location and present an acceptable form of photo identification under Ohio law.
Ashland County voters are deciding county and local races and issues on the November 3 ballot alongside Ohio’s statewide races and statewide Issue 3. Sample ballots for each precinct are posted by the board of elections, and voters can check their registration status, polling location and absentee ballot status through the board and the Ohio Secretary of State.
The board’s regular office hours outside the early-voting period are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. A 24-hour ballot drop box is located at the south side entrance of the Ashland County Office Building, at the corner of West Main and Cottage streets, for voters returning completed ballots or board correspondence.
Election officials remind voters who plan to vote by mail to return their ballots promptly so they are received by the close of polls on November 3. Anyone with questions about early voting, a sample ballot or a polling place can contact the Ashland County Board of Elections at 419-282-4224.
