Ohio’s elections chief says more than 477,000 absentee ballots have been cast ahead of the fall election. Ohioans can vote absentee by mail or in person before Tuesday.
Voters are choosing among candidates for governor and other statewide offices.
Secretary of State Jon Husted says of those who voted absentee, almost 62,000 voted in person and about 416,000 voted by mail. His office says the figures are based on an informal survey of Ohio’s county boards of elections as of Friday. More than 7.7 million Ohioans were registered to vote as of Oct. 1.
There’s still time to vote early, including this Saturday and Sunday. The deadline to request an absentee ballot by mail is Saturday at noon.
