ASHLAND, Ohio — Ashland County voters have four days of early in-person voting left before the Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026 general election, with final sessions Thursday through Sunday at the Ashland County Board of Elections in Ashland, according to the board and the Ohio Secretary of State.
Early voting is held at the board’s office at 110 Cottage St., Suite 106, in Ashland, according to the Ashland County Board of Elections. The board lists the remaining hours as 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 29, and Friday, Oct. 30, followed by 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 31, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1. Early voting ends at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1, the board says.
Those hours match the statewide early in-person voting schedule published by the Ohio Secretary of State, which shows Oct. 28 to 30 from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Oct. 31 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Nov. 1 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The Secretary of State notes early voting began Oct. 6 and includes the two Saturdays and the Sunday before Election Day, and the schedule lists no session on Monday, Nov. 2.
Voters who requested a ballot by mail face separate deadlines. According to the Ohio Secretary of State, absentee ballot applications had to be received by the board by 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 27, and non-UOCAVA absentee ballots must be received by the board by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 3. The Ashland County Board of Elections says its 24-hour ballot drop box is at the south side entrance of the Ashland County Office Building, at the corner of West Main and Cottage Street.
Before heading out, voters can preview exactly what they will decide. The Ashland County Board of Elections provides a sample ballot lookup through its website, because contests and local issues — including county races, judgeships and local levies — vary by precinct within the county.
Every Ashland County ballot will also carry a statewide question. According to the Ohio Secretary of State, State Issue 3, a proposed constitutional amendment that would require voters to present photo identification when voting, will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot for all Ohio voters, with the full text, ballot language and arguments for and against it available at OhioSoS.gov. The Secretary of State also says in-person voters must show a valid, unexpired photo ID with their name and photograph, such as an Ohio driver license, a State of Ohio ID card or a U.S. passport.
On Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3, polls open at 6:30 a.m. and remain open until 7:30 p.m., according to the Ashland County Board of Elections and the Ohio Secretary of State. The board provides a polling location lookup to help voters find their Election Day polling place. Voters with questions can contact the board at 419-282-4224 before the final early session ends Sunday afternoon.
