URBANA, Ohio — Champaign County voters headed into the final day of early in-person voting on Sunday, Nov. 1, ahead of the Tuesday, Nov. 3 general election, with the county Board of Elections in Urbana serving as the early-voting site.
The Champaign County Board of Elections is located at 1512 S. U.S. Highway 68, Suite L-100, in Urbana, according to the board’s official site at boe.ohio.gov/champaign. The board lists its regular office hours as 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and its telephone number as (937) 484-1575.
Ohio’s early in-person voting schedule included the Saturday and Sunday before Election Day, with early voting on Sunday, Nov. 1, running from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. under the Ohio Secretary of State’s 2026 voting schedule. Early in-person voting began Oct. 6 and included that final weekend, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
On Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3, polls across Ohio are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., according to the Secretary of State’s schedule. Absentee ballots must be received by the county board of elections by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day to be counted.
That deadline is stricter than in past cycles. Mail-in and absentee ballots must now be received on or before Election Day by 7:30 p.m., and there is no longer a four-day grace period after Election Day, The Columbus Dispatch reported. The Dispatch advised voters concerned about mail delays to drop ballots off at their county board of elections instead — for Champaign County, at the Urbana office on South U.S. 68.
Champaign County’s Nov. 3 ballot, covered in NewsForce247’s first-pass county preview, includes the Urbana mayor recall, a developmental disabilities levy and a contested commissioner race, along with the statewide races and State Issue 3 that appear on ballots across Ohio.
A monitored drop box is available on the north side of the County Administration Building next to the UPS box for absentee ballot applications and ballots, according to the Champaign County Board of Elections.
After early voting closes, Champaign County voters who have not yet cast a ballot vote at their assigned Election Day polling place on Tuesday. Polls close at 7:30 p.m., and results will follow as the board reports them.
