1. The Deadline to Register in the Ohio Primary is Monday, 2/4/08!

 

The deadline to register to vote in the Ohio primary election is Monday, February 4.  Voter registration forms are available in ODS.  If you have changed your name or address since the last time you voted, would like to vote this year in Ohio’s primary and general elections, or need to register to vote for the first time, you will need to complete and sign a voter registration form.  Voter registration forms are also available at the Secretary of State’s Office at www.sos.state.us/sos.  You can also register on-line.  In Ohio, you can select a political party only at the primary election.  The 2008 primary election will be held on March 4. 

 

For more information or assistance in the voter registration process, please see your counselor or any of the regular ODS staff members.

 

 

2.  ODS is a Designated Voter registration Site!

 

You can register to vote at ODS, which is a designated voter registration site. Voter registration forms and other information about voting are available from your counselor. The forms are also available in the front reception area.

 

• Any resident of Franklin County in Columbus, Ohio, can register to vote using the forms found at ODS.

• For Ohio residents outside of the Franklin county area, you can vote via an absentee ballot. Your counselor has information on how you can contact your particular Board of Elections.

• If you are from another state, you must obtain an absentee ballot from your home county and state.

• The national voter registration form is also available so that any student from any state can register to vote at ODS. This form must be sent back to your home state for voter registration purposes.

• For students who are already registered voters, you must submit a new form if you have changed your name or address since the last time you voted or if you have not voted in any election in the last four years.
