Vote by Mail
Anyone in Ohio can vote by mail. You do not need to have any special circumstances or provide any reasons for choosing to submit your ballot by mail. You must, however, first complete and submit a Vote By Mail application before your ballot will be mailed to you.
You can request a Vote By Mail application from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections website:
Request Vote-by-Mail Application
Be sure to allow enough time for your Vote By Mail application to be received, returned, and processed by the Board of Elections as well as time for your ballot to be mailed to you and for you to get it back to the Board of Elections! Keep the following deadlines in mind:
- Your Vote By Mail application must be received by the Board of Elections by 12:00 p.m. on the Saturday before Election Day.
- If sent by U.S. Mail, your ballot must be postmarked by the post office by the day before Election Day and received by the Board of Elections no later than 10 days after the election, or
- If delivered in person, your ballot must be received by the Board of Elections by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day. Only the elector of a close family member can deliver ballots in person.
