Ohio Secretary of State's Office begins sending out absentee voter applications for November election

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Election Day in Ohio is just over two months away, and Secretary of State Frank LaRose's office has begun sending absentee ballot application forms to every registered voter in the state.

Officials say those forms should begin arriving in voters' mailboxes this week. However, scams can always occur, and LaRose is warning voters to be wary of materials that aren't labeled as "official election mail."

"As various groups and campaigns ramp up their communication with voters, every Ohioan should be vigilant when completing any forms that are not labeled official election mail or from Ohio's trusted source for election information, VoteOhio.gov," the secretary said in a statement.

While every voter will receive a form, those wishing for an absentee ballot must fill out their applications and send them to their county board of elections. LaRose's office suggests doing so as quickly as possible to give postal workers enough time to process the mail.
