If you’re voting in Ohio, you’ll want to locate your specific polling place and know the hours for Election Day. Here’s how to find accurate, up-to-date information:
- Find your polling location
- Visit the official Ohio voting site and enter your address or select your county to see your designated polling place. Your polling location is assigned by local election officials and cannot be changed for that election. [official Ohio voting portal]
* If you’re in a county with a local board of elections page, you can also use that site to look up your polling location by address. [county boards of elections pages]
- Hours and voting options
- Ohio polling places typically open in the morning and close in the early evening on Election Day (commonly around 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., though local variations can occur). Check your exact hours on the official site for your precinct. [official Ohio voting portal]
* If you need to vote early, many counties offer in-person early voting at designated centers during the weeks leading up to Election Day. Check your county’s board of elections page for early voting dates and times.
- What to bring
- Bring an acceptable form of photo ID if required by your precinct. Requirements can vary; the official portal and your county board of elections pages provide current ID guidance.
- Registration considerations
- Ohio generally requires voter registration to be completed before Election Day. Registration deadlines can vary, with some exceptions around holidays. If you’re already registered, you can proceed to your polling place; if not, you may not be able to vote that day. Check the official site for exact deadlines and any exceptions applicable to 2025.
