Less Mail-In Ballots Expected in Ohio

Early voters in Ohio are becoming more likely to cast their ballot in-person as opposed to voting by mail, according to data provided by the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office.  As of Tuesday, nearly 700,000 Ohioans have traveled to their county board of elections to cast their ballot in-person, while just more than 491,000 mail ballots have been returned. A total of 726,754 mail ballots have been issued, and Tuesday is the last day a mail ballot can be requested. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose said voters are likely just becoming more comfortable with voting early in-person.
