Vice Chairman Report Phil Schmiedl
Register to vote for the November 2024 Election. You have various options to vote. Absentee Ballot, early voting
at the Board of Election and Poll voting on Election Day. Voting changes in Ohio; Previous laws allowed people
who could not provide a photo ID to use a utility bill or another piece of official mail to verify their identity. The
new law accepts only four types of ID: Ohio Driver's License, Ohio identification card, a U.S. Passport, or U.S.
military or veteran's ID. In our democracy society, your voice matters. Do not let confusion about voting keep you
from exercising your right to vote. Don't just for the presidential candidates read the ballot. Vote for Congress
and Senators as well.
