Officials from the Logan County Board of Elections reported this week that polling place changes have been made for three townships, effective for the Nov. 4 General Elections and for the foreseeable future.
Transportation Research Center has requested not to be utilized as a polling location any longer, so the Logan County Board of Elections has relocated the precincts that reported to that polling location, Board of Elections Director Adam Brannon said.
Monroe and Zane Township voters will vote on Election Day at the Adriel John L. Yoder Center, 500 N. Detroit St., West Liberty. They will join the voters of Liberty Township and the Village of West Liberty at that location.
Perry Township voters will vote on Election Day at the Benjamin Logan Middle School Gym, 4626 County Road 26, Bellefontaine. They will join the voters of Bokescreek, Jefferson and Rushcreek Townships, and the voters of the Villages of Rushsylvania, West Mansfield and Zanesfield at that location.
Polling Location Change notices are being sent through the mail to every registered voter in Monroe, Perry and Zane Townships at the address that was provided to the Board of Elections when the voter registered or updated their address last.
Voters continue to have multiple options to be able to vote if Election Day voting at their polling location is not convenient for them, Brannon noted.
Absentee or mail-In voting is available to all registered voters. An absentee application must be completed and submitted to the Board of Elections for each election to participate this way.
Voters can request an absentee application be sent to them from the Board of Elections office, or they can print them from the Secretary of State’s website (https://www.ohiosos.gov/elections/voters/how-to-request-your-absentee-ballot/), or the Board of Elections’ website (https://www.boe.ohio.gov/logan/absentee-information/absentee-voting/).
In addition, voters can vote early in-person at the Logan County Board of Elections Office, 225 S. Main St., Bellefontaine, during the four weeks before every election.
