Voter Eligibility
You are qualified to vote if:
::You are a citizen of the United States
::You are at least 18 years old on or before the day of the general
election. If you will be 18 on or before November 8, you may vote in the
primary election for candidates, but you cannot vote on issues until
you are 18.
::You will be a resident of Ohio for at least 30 days immediately
before the election
::You are not incarcerated (in prison) for a felony conviction under
the laws of the United States, this state or any other state of the
United States
::You have not been declared incompetent for voting purposes by a
probate court
::You are registered to vote in Ohio at least 30 consecutive days
before the election
How is residency determined?
By law, your residence is the place in which your habitation is fixed
and to which, whenever you are absent, you have the intention to
return. If you continuously reside outside of Ohio for a period of four
years or more, you are not a resident of this state for voter
registration purposes, except if you are absent from Ohio because of
federal or state government employment, including military service.
