Choose a way to vote that works for you.

Before you go

Check your registration and polling place. If you have questions about the entrance, parking, voting equipment, or assistance at your location, call the county Board of Elections before you travel.

Vote in person

Ohio polling places offer accessible voting equipment. A voter who needs help marking a ballot may ask a person of their choice, subject to Ohio’s restrictions, or request assistance from two poll workers of different parties.

If a disability makes it physically impossible to enter, ask about curbside voting. Contact the board in advance for early voting arrangements; on Election Day, someone can notify poll workers inside.

Vote absentee

Any eligible Ohio voter may request a standard absentee ballot. Ohio also offers a remote ballot marking system for voters with qualifying disabilities. It lets you mark an accessible ballot using assistive technology; you then print and return the ballot according to the instructions.

Ask the county board which request form and return steps fit your circumstances. The state provides an accessible absentee ballot request option.

If you are hospitalized or confined

Ohio has additional absentee procedures for certain voters who are hospitalized, confined, or unable to vote in person because of illness or disability. Contact the board promptly to discuss the applicable form and deadline.
