Military voters who have not yet registered to vote or submitted a request for an absentee ballot may still do so by visiting OhioMilitaryVotes.com or OhioVoterPassport.com for overseas voters. Applications must be received by this deadline in order to receive a ballot in the mail. Voters have until November 3, 2015, at 7:00 p.m.to return their completed absentee ballot.
