FREMONT, Ohio — Sandusky County voters have entered the final week of early in-person voting for the November 3 general election, with the Board of Elections office at 2020 Countryside Drive in Fremont open from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, October 28–30, under the statewide schedule set by the Ohio Secretary of State.
The remaining early-voting sessions are Saturday, October 31, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, November 1, from 1 to 5 p.m., according to the Sandusky County Board of Elections schedule reported by Firelands Current. There is no early in-person voting on Monday, November 2. The board’s phone number for voting questions is 419-334-6180, Firelands Current reported.
Tuesday, October 27, was the deadline for boards of elections to receive absentee ballot applications, under the Secretary of State’s statewide calendar. Voters who have already received a mail ballot must return it to the county board of elections by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day, November 3; on Election Day itself, voters cast ballots at their assigned precinct polling place from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Two countywide renewal levies headline the Sandusky County ballot. The Sandusky County Park District is asking voters to renew its levy for another decade at the same rate approved in 2007 and renewed in 2016 — $20 per $100,000 of appraised value — to fund park operations, trails, visitor services and educational programs, according to the Fremont News-Messenger. “That’s nearly 20 years with the same millage without an increase,” Park District Director Andrew Brown told the News-Messenger.
The Sandusky County Drug Task Force, operated out of the prosecutor’s office, is seeking a five-year renewal collecting $14 per $100,000 of property value, the News-Messenger reported. Prosecutor Beth Tischler told the News-Messenger the task force opened 136 cases from January through August of this year and conducted 84 searches.
The ballot also carries an unusual judicial contest: suspended Common Pleas Judge Jon Ickes remains on the ballot after the Ohio Supreme Court ruled it could not order the board of elections to remove his name, the News-Messenger reported in September. Ickes’s law license was suspended for two years in August, according to the News-Messenger’s reporting on the court’s decision.
Voters can check their registration, preview a sample ballot and find their Election Day polling place through the Sandusky County Board of Elections and the Secretary of State’s voter tools before heading out. Anyone still in line when an early-voting session is scheduled to end is allowed to vote.
