Eligibility
You are qualified to register to vote in Ohio if you meet all the
following requirements:
1. You are a citizen of the United States.
2. You will be at least 18 years old on or before the day of the
general election.
3. You will be a resident of Ohio for at least 30 days
immediately before the election in which you want to vote.
4. You are not incarcerated (in jail or in prison) for a felony
conviction.
5. You have not been declared incompetent for voting
purposes by a probate court.
6. You have not been permanently disenfranchised for
violations of election laws.
Use this form to register to vote or to update your current Ohio
registration if you have changed your address or name.
NOTICE: This form must be received or postmarked by the 30th day
before an election at which you intend to vote. You will be notified by
your county board of elections of the location where you vote. If you
do not receive a notice following timely submission of this form,
please contact your county board of elections.
Numbers 1 and 2 below are required by law. You must answer
both of the questions for your registration to be processed.
Registering in Person
If you have a current valid Ohio driver’s license, you must provide that
number on line 10. If you do not have an Ohio driver’s license, you
must provide the last four digits of your Social Security number on
line 10. If you have neither, please write “None.”
Registering by Mail
If you register by mail and do not provide either an Ohio driver’s
license number or the last four digits of your Social Security number,
you must enclose with your application a copy of one of the following
forms of identification:
Current and valid photo identification, a military identification, or a
current (within the last 12 months) utility bill, bank statement,
government check, paycheck, or government document (other than
a notice of voter registration mailed by a board of elections) that
shows the voter’s name and current address.
Residency Requirements
Your voting residence is the location that you consider to be a
permanent, not a temporary, residence. Your voting residence is the
place in which your habitation is fixed and to which, whenever you
are absent, you intend to return. If you do not have a fixed place of
habitation, but you are a consistent or regular inhabitant of a shelter
or other location to which you intend to return, you may use that
shelter or other location as your residence for purposes of registering
to vote. If you have questions about your specific residency
circumstances, you may contact your local board of elections for
further information.
Your Signature
In the area below the arrow in Box 14, please write your cursive,
hand-written signature or make your legal mark, taking care that it
does not touch the surrounding lines so when it is digitally imaged by
your county board of elections it can effectively be used to identify
your signature.
Please see information on back of this form to learn how
to obtain an absentee ballot.
