Pickaway County voters are in the final week of early voting ahead of the Tuesday, November 3, 2026, general election, with in-person early voting continuing at the Pickaway County Board of Elections in Circleville through Sunday, November 1, according to the board’s published schedule of current events.
Early voting remained open late on Tuesday, October 27, running from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., the board’s schedule shows. Hours continue Wednesday, October 28, through Friday, October 30, from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. each day, followed by Saturday, October 31, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and a final early session on Sunday, November 1, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. There is no early voting on Monday, November 2, and Election Day polls will be open Tuesday, November 3, from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The board of elections office is located at 141 W. Main St., Suite 800, in Circleville, according to the Ohio Secretary of State’s board directory, and voters with questions can reach the office at 740-474-1100. Tuesday also carried a key mail-ballot deadline under the Ohio Secretary of State’s 2026 voting schedule: absentee ballot applications had to be received by the board by 8:30 p.m. on October 27.
Voters who already have an absentee ballot should plan for it to be in the board’s hands, not just in the mail, by the close of polls. Under the Secretary of State’s schedule, completed absentee ballots must be received by the board by 7:30 p.m. on November 3, and a postmark alone is not sufficient. Voters who miss that window can still vote in person during the remaining early hours or on Election Day.
At the top of the ballot, Pickaway County voters will help decide Issue 3, the proposed statewide constitutional amendment on photo identification for voting, along with Ohio’s statewide races. The Columbus Dispatch, in its ballot preview for Pickaway County, reported that county voters will also decide a Pickaway County Park District levy on the November 3 ballot.
According to The Columbus Dispatch’s preview, the park district measure combines a renewal of 0.5 mill with an increase of 0.25 mill, for a total of 0.75 mill for 10 years. The Dispatch reported the levy would generate more than $1.46 million annually and would cost $20 per $100,000 of the county auditor’s appraised market value, with the money supporting maintenance of the district’s three parks, its trails and paddling accesses, and helping local communities develop parks and trails of their own.
Beyond those countywide questions, The Columbus Dispatch reported that voters in some Pickaway County communities will find about a dozen additional local levies on their ballots, covering services such as fire protection, emergency medical services, cemeteries, roads and schools. Because those measures vary by community, voters can review a sample ballot for their own precinct through the board of elections before they arrive to vote.
With the final early sessions now set, anyone who wants to avoid Election Day lines can still use the remaining hours in Circleville this week. After Sunday’s session closes at 5 p.m., the next and final chance to vote will be at assigned polling places across Pickaway County on Tuesday, November 3, from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
