IF you have requested an absentee ballot, and IF your request was processed by the BOE, but you didn’t receive your ballot yet, you may be able to vote. Check the status of your request at: https://lookup.boe.ohio.gov/vtrapp/greene/avlookup.aspx to make sure that your request was processed. See last paragraph for an explanation of why the BOE may have been unable to process your request.
If you receive your ballot by Monday, you can fill it out and put it in the mail but it MUST be post marked NLT Monday, April 27. Your other option is to hand deliver it to the secure box at your board of elections (Greene County BOE is at 551 Ledbetter Rd., Xenia).
If you receive your ballot on Tuesday, you can fill it out and hand-deliver it to the Greene County Board of Elections. There is a secure box there. Cutoff time is 7:30 PM Tuesday, April 28.
If you don’t receive your ballot in time despite your request being processed, you can vote a provisional ballot, along with disabled and homeless voters, at your BOE on Tuesday, April 28, cutoff time is 7:30 PM.
If you requested an absentee ballot, but your request was NOT processed, you cannot vote a provisional ballot. This might happen if your request was not completed correctly or completely. The BOE will try to contact you using the contact information you provided on the application (phone number and/or email address). If they could not reach you, they could not resolve the issue so your request was not processed. Bottom line here: don’t wait until the last minute for the next election.
