This second-pass election story for Hocking County is part of NewsForce247’s coverage of every Ohio county ahead of Nov. 3. The county’s first-pass ballot preview was published earlier in the rotation, and this update focuses on the final early-voting window and the Election Day deadlines that now apply to every Hocking County voter.
Logan is the county seat of Hocking County, and the board office on West Hunter Street is the county’s single early-voting location — every in-person early ballot in the county is cast there, not at a voter’s precinct. Voters should bring an accepted form of photo identification, and anyone still in line when a session is scheduled to end is allowed to vote, under Ohio’s statewide early-voting rules.
What happens next is the close of early voting at 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, followed by Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 3, when Hocking County voters will decide their races and issues at precinct polling places across the county.
