FIVE IMPORTANT TIPS FOR VOTING

  • Know before You Go: Double check the location of your polling station so you know where you are supposed to vote.
  • Timing Is Everything: If you can, try to vote during mid-morning or early afternoon, when polls are usually at their least crowded.
  • Proof Positive: Make sure you bring a form of ID with you, whether it’s a picture ID from Ohio (such as a driver's license, or state or military ID); OR one of the following with a current address: your utility bill, bank statement or pay stub.
  • What to Wear: Campaign clothing is not allowed at polling places. If you do wear clothing or buttons supporting a candidate, don't worry. You can still vote if you cover up or take it off.
  • Most Importantly, Avoid the Double Bubble: When you vote, fill in the top oval for the Presidential candidate of your choice. Don't also write in the name at the bottom, because there is a risk that your ballot may not be counted on election night.
 

What you need to know:

  • Polls are open on Tuesday, November 4th from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
  • If you are in line when the polls close, stay in line -- you'll be able to vote.
  • Some acceptable forms of ID are an OH driver's license, military ID, or utility bill.
  • If you know you're registered, but they can't find your name on the rolls, you can still vote by provisional ballot.
  • Don't leave without voting, or calling 1-877-OBAMA-OH.
