Ohio has seen a historic turnout already.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
The biggest share of early votes came from in-person voting. Across 21 days of early voting, 490,094 voters cast a ballot. That’s more than three times the share of in-person votes cast during last May’s primary election. In-person turnout peaked last Friday when just over 44,000 voters showed up at their county boards of elections.
If you got an absentee ballot but haven’t sent it in yet, your best bet is to drop it off at the board in person. County boards of election will accept absentee ballots in person through the close of polls at 7:30 p.m. on Election Day Aug. 8.Unsurprisingly, Ohio’s most populous — and most left-leaning — counties account for the greatest share of votes so far. But conservative counties just north of Cincinnati have seen significant turnout as well.
