If you moved to Ohio from another state, you must register to vote in Ohio to be able to vote.[1] The last day to register in time to vote in the next election is thirty days before the election.[2]
If you moved from out of state, you are only eligible to vote if you submitted your registration at least 30 days before the election[3] and are a resident of Ohio for the thirty days prior to the day of the election.[4] But under federal law, if you move within thirty days of a presidential election, you are allowed to vote for President and Vice President in your former state of residence, either in person or by absentee ballot.[5]
I moved within Ohio.
If you moved within the state, you must either fill out a change of residence form or a new registration form to update your registration.[6] You may do this on the day of the election at your new polling site or board of elections, but you will have to vote a provisional ballot in that election.[7]
Many registered Ohio voters who move are still entitled to cast a ballot that will be counted — even if they did not notify the appropriate election official about the move before Election Day.
If you moved to a new address that is covered by the same polling place as your old address, you can vote a regular ballot at that polling place after signing a notice of change of residence and showing identification with your name and current address. [8]
If you moved to a new address that is within the same county but with a different polling place, you are entitled to vote a provisional ballot at your new polling place, the county board of elections office, or at a location designated by the county board of elections.[9] You need to sign a change of address form and attest that you have moved, have voted a provisional ballot, and will not attempt to vote at another location.[10] You must cast your provisional ballot at the correct polling place for your new address for your vote to be counted.[11]
If you moved to a new address that is in a different county, you are entitled to vote a provisional ballot at the board of elections office for your new county, or at a site designated by the board of elections.[12] You need to sign a change of address form and attest that you have moved, have voted a provisional ballot, and will not attempt to vote at another location.[13] You must cast their provisional ballots in the correct polling place for your new address for your vote to be counted.[14]
