Several
of our patrons have been unsure of where to go to cast their ballot on November
8. Fortunately, the Ohio Secretary of State website has made that information easy
to find.
To
find out where to vote, go to http://voterlookup.sos.state.oh.us/,
type in your first name and last name, and select your county. It will bring up
your polling location, precinct, and congressional, Senate, and State
Representative districts.
Myohiovote.com,
also part of the Secretary of State’s website, is another option. It uses a
slightly different method to determine your polling place – it links to your
county’s board of elections website and goes from there – but the end result is
the same. A wealth of information is available on the website, and you can do
things like view a sample ballot, get information on early, provisional, and
absentee voting, and track your absentee ballot.
For
more information on the election, the League of Women Voters of Trumbull County
have put out their voter information guide, copies of which are available here
at the Newton Falls Public Library. According to the League’s website, they
have been working to distribute 10,000 copies not only to all the libraries,
senior centers, and high schools in Trumbull County, but to area businesses as
well. The League of Women Voters of Kent, covering southern Portage County, has
put their guide online here.
If you would like us to help look up your polling place, please call or visit us here at the library.
