CLEVELAND — If you're hoping to vote in next month's Nov. 3 election, this is your last chance to register.
Ohio's deadline for voter registration is Oct. 5, 2020 -- yep, that's today!
If you still need to register, you can do so by clicking HERE. Those who register after the deadline will be eligible for the following election.
To register online, the state required the following:
- Ohio driver's license or Ohio identification card number
- Name
- Date of birth
- Address
- Last four digits of your social security number
The same deadline applies to voters who need to update their current registration.
Here are the other important dates you need to know ahead of the Nov. 3 election:
- Tuesday, Oct. 6: Early voting begins and absentee ballots are distributed.
- Tuesday, Oct. 27: The "realistic deadline" for requesting your absentee ballot. “As you all know, the law says that you may continue to request absentee ballots up until the Saturday before election at noon. That’s a terrible idea," LaRose said. "We’re telling everyone, as far as we’re concerned, the logistical deadline, the realistic deadline, is the 27th of October. You really should not request an absentee ballot after that because chances are that you’ll get it on Wednesday or Thursday after the election is over."
- Monday, Nov. 2: Your absentee ballot must be postmarked by this date if you're mailing it in. "Ohio allows those to be received up to 10 days later as long as they’re postmarked by Nov. 2."
- Tuesday, Nov. 3: The general election is held.
