MILLERSBURG, Ohio — Holmes County voters head to their precinct polling places today, Tuesday, November 3, after early in-person voting wrapped up on Sunday, November 1, closing out nearly four weeks of advance balloting for the 2026 general election, according to the Holmes County Board of Elections.
Polls across Holmes County are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. today, and any voter in line when the polls close still has the right to cast a ballot. On Election Day, voters must vote at their assigned precinct polling place, the Ohio Secretary of State’s office said.
Early in-person voting ran at the board of elections from October 6 through November 1. The board’s office is in the Clinton Street Office Building at 75 East Clinton Street, Suite 108, in Millersburg, according to the Holmes County Board of Elections.
Holmes County voters are deciding the statewide races at the top of the ticket — governor, U.S. senator, attorney general, auditor, secretary of state, treasurer and two Ohio Supreme Court seats — along with State Issue 3, the proposed constitutional amendment on voter photo ID, and their congressional and statehouse races, according to the Ohio Secretary of State.
One deadline matters most for anyone still holding a mail ballot: absentee ballots must now arrive by the close of polls on Election Day to be counted — there is no longer a four-day grace period after Election Day, The Columbus Dispatch reported. The Dispatch advised voters to drop ballots off in person at their county board of elections rather than risk the mail.
Holmes County’s drop-off point is the board of elections office at 75 East Clinton Street, Suite 108, in Millersburg. Ballots must be received there by 7:30 p.m. tonight. The board can be reached at (330) 674-5921.
Voters heading to the polls today should bring an unexpired photo ID — an Ohio driver’s license or state ID, a U.S. passport or passport card, or a qualifying military or veterans ID — the Ohio Secretary of State’s office said. A voter without an acceptable ID can cast a provisional ballot and then present ID to the county board of elections within four days after Election Day for it to count, according to the Secretary of State’s guidance.
After the polls close at 7:30 p.m., the board will report unofficial results as precinct returns come in. The board’s published schedule lists a provisional-ballot disposition meeting on November 12 and the official canvass on November 16, according to the Holmes County Board of Elections.
