How do I apply?

Write or go to the Marion County Board of elections in your county and request an absentee ballot, giving the following information (a form is available from your county board of elections for convenience, but is not required):

• Your name and voting residence (address).

• The election for which you are requesting a ballot.

• Birth date

• Last 4 digits of your Social Security number, or Ohio Drivers License number.

• Your party choice if the election is a primary or that you want to vote an issues-only ballot.

• The mailing address to which you want your ballot sent.

• Your signature.

Note: The absentee ballot request deadline in the case of medical emergencies is 3 p.m. on election day. To be eligible under this provision, you must be confined in a hospital because of a medical emergency. A close relative may deliver and return your ballot if you so request and state the relative's name and relationship on the application, or representatives of the board can deliver the ballot.

All voted absentee ballots must be received at the board office by 7:30pm on election day in order to be counted. Voters should request an absentee ballot as early as possible in order to meet the return deadline.
