The delayed 2020 Ohio presidential primary is set for Tuesday, but anyone requesting a ballot must do so by noon Saturday.
The quickest way for registered voters to get a ballot is by calling their local board of elections.
Voters can also download a request form at VoteOhio.gov, fill it out and mail it, but those forms must get to your board of elections office by Saturday. Voters can also visit the board of elections to pick up a form.
Butler and Warren counties have forms in their lobbies.
“Time is of the essence,” said Butler County Board of Elections Director Diane Noonan of the quickly approaching deadline.
County elections Deputy Director Eric Corbin said “vote-by-mail requests are higher than we have ever seen before, and in a shorter period of time.”
Ballots can either be returned by mail, but must be postmarked with Monday’s date (you must request this from the post office). Or they can be hand-delivered anytime until 7:30 p.m. Tuesday your county board of elections.
Butler or Warren county board of elections each have secure drop boxes.
