Residents of Ohio who applied for an absentee ballot ...
ONCE YOU HAVE APPLIED FOR AN ABSENTEE BALLOT, YOU MUST EITHER GET IT TO THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS OR VOTE BY PROVISIONAL BALLOT.
If you never received the ballot, you should go tomorrow, Friday, November 2, 2012, to your county board of elections and find out what you can do, UNLESS YOU ARE CERTAIN that you know what to do from information available in the newspapers / your local library / you had good luck reaching the county board of elections on the phone.
If you did not already send in your ballot via U.S.P.S., then you may hand deliver your ballot to your county board of elections.
If you still wish to mail your absentee ballot, it will require 65 CENTS U.S. postage and must be postmarked no later than NOVEMBER 5, 2012 and received by your county board of elections by November 16, 2012. YOU CANNOT USE A POSTAGE METER “STAMP.”
YOU MAY NOT RETURN YOUR ABSENTEE BALLOT TO A POLLING PLACE ON ELECTION DAY.
If you do not mail nor hand deliver your absentee ballot to your county board of elections, and you still wish to vote, you MUST vote using the provisional system at your polling place on the day of elections, November 6, 2012.
To vote a provisional ballot at your polling place, you will need to bring along your Ohio driver’s license or a copy of a current (within the last 12 months) utility bill, bank statement, government check, military ID, paycheck or other government document (other than a voter registration notification mailed to you by your county board of elections) that SHOWS YOUR NAME AND CURRENT ADDRESS.
YEAH, now you get it:
ONCE YOU HAVE APPLIED FOR AN ABSENTEE BALLOT, YOU MUST EITHER GET IT TO THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS OR VOTE BY PROVISIONAL BALLOT.
