Voting is one of the most important rights and responsibilities you have as a US citizen. This is a privilege many people around the world do not have. Your vote makes a difference so please make sure you vote in every primary and general election.

​You are qualified to register to vote in Ohio if you meet all the following requirements:

​You are a citizen of the United States;

1. You will be at least 18 years old on or before the day of the next general election. (If you will be 18 on or before the general election, you may vote in the primary election to nominate candidates, but you cannot vote on issues or party central committees until you are 18);

2. You will be a resident of Ohio for at least 30 days immediately before the election in which you want to vote;

3. You are not incarcerated (in prison or jail) for a felony conviction under the laws of this state, another state, or the United States;

4. You have not been declared incompetent for voting purposes by a probate court; and
