Only after the completed application is verified by bipartisan teams at a county board of elections is a ballot mailed to a voter. In all, nearly 8 million registered Ohio voters will receive the absentee ballot application.  Ohioans who choose to vote by absentee ballot must return their completed application form to their county board of elections to receive the absentee ballot for the November 5 general election. In the absentee ballot request instructions, Secretary LaRose recommends voters submit their request as quickly as possible to ensure the U.S. Postal Service has adequate time to process their absentee ballot request.
