Trumbull County voters have entered the final week of early voting for the Nov. 3 general election, with the Trumbull County Board of Elections in Warren open for long hours through Sunday before polls open across the county on Election Day.
Early in-person voting runs from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, Oct. 28 to 30, then from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, according to the Ohio Secretary of State’s statewide voting schedule. The board’s early-voting location is its office at 2947 Youngstown Road SE in Warren, listed in the Metro Monthly voter guide and on the board’s own site, and voters must show an accepted photo ID to cast an early ballot in person, according to the Trumbull County Board of Elections.
The board’s official Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot notice for the Nov. 3, 2026 general election shows a full county ballot topped by the statewide executive races, the U.S. Senate contest between Sherrod Brown, Jon Husted and William B. Redpath, and the 14th Congressional District race between David Joyce and Maria Jukic, according to the Trumbull County Board of Elections notice.
At the county level, voters will decide a commissioner race between Michael J. Hovis and Kristen F. Rock for the term beginning Jan. 1, 2027, and a county auditor race between Mike Loychik and Edward D. Stredney, according to the board’s notice. State representative races include Nick Santucci in the 64th District and a contested 65th District race between John Barbo and David Thomas, the notice shows.
Local questions on the ballot vary by community, according to the board’s notice. They include fire, EMS, police and road levy renewals in Braceville, Farmington, Gustavus, Liberty and Vienna townships, an additional 4.5-mill police, fire and EMS levy in McDonald Village, a Lordstown Village income-tax question about funding a new fire department building, and a Warren City ordinance question about rescinding and replacing council pay raises and eliminating future automatic increases for elected officials.
The window to request a ballot by mail has now closed: absentee ballot applications had to be received by 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 27, according to the Ohio Secretary of State’s voting schedule. Voters who already have a mail ballot must return it so it is received by the board by 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 3 to be counted, under the schedule, with a longer Nov. 7 deadline only for military and overseas voters.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, when Trumbull County polling places will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., according to the Metro Monthly voter guide and the Secretary of State’s schedule. Voters who have not voted early or by mail should vote at their designated precinct polling place that day.
