LEBANON, Ohio — Warren County voters get their last chance to vote early in person on Sunday, November 1, when the Warren County Board of Elections in Lebanon opens for the final day of early voting ahead of the Tuesday, November 3 general election.
Early in-person voting runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at the board’s office at 520 Justice Drive in Lebanon, under the Ohio Secretary of State’s statewide voting schedule. Early voting began October 6. There is no in-person early voting on Monday, November 2 — after Sunday, the next chance to cast a ballot is at assigned polling places on Election Day.
Sunday’s 1-to-5 p.m. session closes a four-week early-voting run that began October 6 and lengthened in the final week under the Secretary of State’s schedule, including a Saturday session on October 31 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Warren County’s single early-voting site is the board office in Lebanon, in the county administrative complex.
On the ballot in Warren County, voters are deciding a county commissioner race and local levies alongside Ohio’s statewide races, including the contest for U.S. Senate, and statewide Issue 3, the photo ID constitutional amendment. Voters must show an unexpired photo ID.
Voters who still hold a mailed absentee ballot should deliver it in person rather than mail it. Under Senate Bill 293, signed by Gov. Mike DeWine in December 2025, absentee ballots must be received by the close of polls on Election Day to be counted, The Columbus Dispatch reported, and Secretary of State Frank LaRose said on October 27 that it might already be too late to mail a ballot and have it arrive by the deadline, according to Cleveland.com as cited by The Columbus Dispatch. Warren County ballots can be dropped off at the board office at 520 Justice Drive in Lebanon.
The board of elections can be reached at 513-695-1358 for questions about early voting, polling places and ballot drop-off.
What happens next: polls open across Warren County on Tuesday, November 3, from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Anyone in line at 7:30 p.m. may still vote, and absentee ballots must be in the board’s hands by 7:30 p.m. that night to count.
