In Ohio you are required to register to vote at least 30 days before an election. 其他州 have different registration requirements and deadlines.  学生 may choose to register to vote in their college/university community or back in their hometown.  Each time you move to a new address you must update your voter registration address.

In many states, including Ohio, there are multiple methods you can utilize to vote.  您可以:

  • Vote early in person, 
  • Vote early by absentee ballot, or 
  • 在选举日投票.  

Each has a process that requires some planning on your part and below we have curated some helpful tools to make your voting experience great. 

Local Boards of Elections will have the most current information for voters.  Below are a few links to the common boards of elections websites in Ohio for BGSU students:

BGSU is a part of the National Study of Learning, 投票 and Engagement.  Each even election year a report of student voter registration and participation is compiled to better understand student voter engagement at BGSU. This study is coordinated by the Institute for Democracy and Higher 教育 at Tuft's University's Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life.

A collection of reports from the last three election years can be accessed below.

An absentee ballot allows you to vote by mail.  If you are a registered voter, your local board of elections will send out an absentee ballot application and corresponding deadline to submit. They will then send you your ballot by mail and you complete it and send it back to your local board of elections.

If you did not get an absentee ballot by mail, you can request one online at longdistancevoting.org. Remember, you must be registered to request an absentee ballot.

学生 who live on campus and are registered to vote at their on campus address can access a Voter Identification Letter, which is accessible through your MyBGSU portal.  参见 for how to access this letter. 

学生 registered to vote at an off campus address should consult the voter identification requirements at the Ohio Secretary of State website.

If you are voting early in person, you will need your Ohio Driver's License or State ID number or the last 4-digits of your Social Security Number.

Early voting is a convenient option to cast your ballot before election day.  Many voters are out of town on election day, cannot make it to the hours of voting on election day because of work, or have other extenuating circumstances.

Each county handles early voting differently.  大选前, determine the early voting location and times in the county in which you are registered to vote.  For those of you registered in Bowling Green, the early voting location is a short walk from campus at the 木县 Courthouse (located in the building with the tall clock tower near downtown Bowling Green, 或法院广场1号.(俄亥俄州鲍灵格林).

If you are registered you can find your polling location using the state voter information website.

找到 the official address list on the 居住生活 webpage.

Yes, you will have to register using your address on-campus or off-campus in Bowling Green.  

Many students decide to register to vote in the town they attend college/university.  As a student you have the right to register and vote in the place that you consider to be truly "home".  We recommend that you speak to your friends and family to help you make the decision about where you would like to vote.

众议院第458号法案 was signed into law by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine on Friday, 1月3日, 2023 and takes effect on Friday, 4月7日, 2023.

Please look over the new Ohio voter ID laws along with any other changes to Ohio voting laws that you may need to know.
