The Ohio Supreme Court has let stand Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s directive that ballot drop boxes in Ohio can only be used this year by people submitting their own early absentee ballots.
If you are submitting an absentee ballot for a family member or assisting a voter with a disability, you must bring it inside the election office and sign a form stating you’re allowed to under Ohio law.

Such bullshit. I went to early vote last Friday and instead of being able to drop off my Mom's completed (by her) and sealed ballot in the drop box, she had to ride with me, and then walk with her walker down to the drop box that wasn't even close to the curb and whose ramp for handicapped people wasn't even close to it. She and I were both fuming as she dropped her ballot in, and then flipped off what she thought to be a camera "watching" her, lol.

Early voting is underway at the Greene County Board of elections on Ledbetter Road in Xenia. This week the hours are 8 to 5 Monday through Friday. Vote early and skip the lines on election day and stop by and get your Harris-Walz yard signs while you’re there! #gcdpoh #yeson1 #electdemocrats ... See MoreSee Less

Thanks to the volunteers standing out there in the cold weather. I was there Monday mid-morning and looked like a steady stream of cars coming to early vote. Fingers crossed it was mostly Dems!
Hey folks: is there a dropoff box for mailin/absentee ballots there?
This is why we recommend to people that they only put political yard signs at their own private residence.
Nobody wants to see the community littered with yard signs.
Plus, the old adage that those with the most yard signs wins isn't true! 😜Signs in Right of Way
As we enter the fall yard maintenance season and fall election season, more signs tends to sprout up in the the right of way. We ask that you keep some things in mind when it comes to sign placement.
Ohio law states that signs, regardless of their purpose, cannot be placed in road rights-of-way or attached to signs and posts.
Also they interfere with our ability to mow as wires left behind off deteriorated signs can be hard to see in the grass and can end up caught in our mowers and tear up our equipment and can end up hurting our operators. Plus the signs can end up clogging up our drainage or litter our roadsides ditches.
Where can they go?
📌The road right-of-way can vary from 30 feet to 120 feet wide depending on the road.
📌This means that no signs should be positioned in the area between the curb and the sidewalk on roads with curbs or in front of telephone poles.
📌Signs can be placed on private property only with the consent of the property owner and in compliance with municipal or township ordinances, when applicable.
📌A good general rule of thumb is signs should be placed behind the telephone poles, in farm fields, or behind the sidewalk (on your private property or with the permission of the private property owner)
Signs placed in county road right-of-way and removed by our crews will be available for pick up for two weeks at our facility at 615 Dayton-Xenia Road, Xenia, Ohio. After that, they will be disposed of.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter as we continue to keep the public safe and our roads well maintained. ... See MoreSee Less

Not every time, but most of the time, the signs too close to the road or at vacant properties belong to one party. Weird.
