Identification Requirements at the Voting Booth

House Bill 3 was signed by the Governor on January 31, 2006

Voters must bring identification to the polls in order to verify identity. Identification may include a current and valid photo identification, a military identification that shows the voter’s name and current address, or a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document, other than this reminder or a voter registration notification that shows the voter’s name and current address. Voters who do not provide one of these documents will still be able to vote by providing the last four digits of the voter’s social security number and by casting a provisional ballot. Voters who do not have any of the above forms of identification, including a social security number, will still be able to vote by signing an affirmation swearing to the voter’s identity under penalty of election falsification and by casting a provisional ballot.
 

 

 

 You Are Qualified To Vote If:

 

- You Are A Citizen Of The United States -

 

- You are at least 18 years old on or before the date of the general election -

 

- If you will be 18 on or before the date of the general election,

you may vote in the primary election for candidates only, but not on issues -

 

- You will be a resident of Ohio for at least 30 days before the election -

 

- You register to vote at least 30 days before the election -

 

 

How is residence determined?
By law your residence is the place to which, whenever you are absent, you have the intent to return. Leaving for temporary purposes, such as military service or school attendance, does not result in a change of residence for voting purposes, unless you register in the area where you are currently residing.

 

Can a student vote from his/her school address?
Yes, if the student regards that place as his/her residence and registers to vote. Otherwise, the student must vote in his/her home community if registered. The student may vote by requesting an absentee application (See voting information page for form.)
