🤵‍♀️👰‍♀️Wedding season is here! 💍If you’re changing your name or moving after getting married, remember to update your voter registration so you’re ready for future elections!

➡️If a voter legally changes their name, the voter MUST update their voter registration to reflect the name change.

The voter must use a Voter Registration and Information Update Form for this purpose. Name changes cannot be processed online as the voter’s county board of elections requires an updated signature with the new name on file.

Be sure to visit us during our office hours at 1700 Morse Road! Visit our website or scan the QR code to download the voter registration form: https://vote.franklincountyohio.gov/home

While Ohio always reports the unofficial results on Election Night, the Official Canvass takes place within 21 days of the election. During that time, boards of elections carefully review and count provisional ballots, cured absentee ballots, and any other valid votes. This process ensures every eligible vote is counted accurately and transparently for the final tally.
