TIFFIN, Ohio — Seneca County voters have one early-voting session left — Sunday, November 1, from 1 to 5 p.m. — before polls open across the county on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, for the 2026 general election.
Early in-person voting is held at the Seneca County Board of Elections, 71 South Washington Street, Suite 1101, in Tiffin, according to the board’s page at boe.ohio.gov. The board lists its phone number as 419-447-4424 and regular office hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday; the special early-voting hours follow the Ohio Secretary of State’s uniform statewide schedule. Saturday’s final full early-voting day ran from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and there is no early voting on Monday, November 2.
On Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, Seneca County voters vote at their own assigned polling places — not at the board office — with polls open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. statewide. Voters can confirm their polling place and view their exact sample ballot through the Ohio Secretary of State’s voter lookup tools and at VoteOhio.gov, and should bring an accepted photo ID, such as an Ohio driver’s license or state ID card, a U.S. passport or a military ID.
Every Seneca County ballot carries a 10-year renewal levy for the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Seneca, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wyandot Counties — the board now known as the North Central Behavioral Health Board — according to The Fostoria Free Press’s ballot preview, which credited the board’s levy page and WTOL 11’s earlier levy reporting.
The ballot also carries the statewide races every Ohio voter will decide — governor and lieutenant governor, attorney general, auditor, secretary of state, treasurer, two Ohio Supreme Court seats and a U.S. Senate seat — along with statewide Issue 3, the proposed constitutional amendment that would require voters to show photo identification in order to vote.
One deadline matters most for voters still holding a mail ballot: absentee ballots must be received by the board of elections by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day, November 3. Under Senate Bill 293, there is no post-Election Day grace period for most ballots, The Columbus Dispatch reported, so the board and the Secretary of State advise dropping a completed ballot off in person at 71 South Washington Street at this point rather than mailing it.
What happens next: early voting closes Sunday at 5 p.m., and Seneca County polls open Tuesday at 6:30 a.m. and close at 7:30 p.m., when unofficial results begin posting through the board of elections and the Ohio Secretary of State.
