To vote in the primary/special election on May 6, you must be registered to vote by Monday, April 7. You can register online at VoteOhio.gov

You can also register by mail or in person, including at any Akron-Summit County Public Library branch or any deputy registrar of the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. 

To register online to vote, you’ll need an Ohio driver’s license or Ohio identification card number, a current address and the last four digits of your Social Security number.

On April 7, the Summit County Board of Elections will close at 9 p.m. Any mail-in registration forms must be postmarked by April 7 in order to be eligible for the May 6 election.

Check your voter registration status online and make a voting plan on the League of Women Voters’ Vote 411 site. If you’re unable to locate your voter registration information but think you are registered to vote, you can contact the BOE – their phone is 330-643-5200.

If you need to update your address, the voter registration form is also the change-of-address form. Any voters without a permanent address can use a temporary one, such as a shelter or halfway house.
