OHIO ABSENTEE BALLOT APPLICATIONS ARE COMING!

**What to look for:**
Your envelope should be clearly marked **“Official Election Mail.”**

Inside, you’ll find:
• An information letter
• An absentee ballot request form
• A pre-addressed return envelope

⚠️ **IMPORTANT:** Receiving an application does **NOT** mean you will automatically receive an absentee ballot. If you choose to vote absentee, you must complete the application, provide the required identification, and return it to your county Board of Elections. The application must then be verified by bipartisan election officials.

**If you choose to vote absentee, make sure you complete the application correctly and return it on time!**
