Absentee ballot requests for July 13 Third Congressional District election due Saturday
Voters who do not want to drive to the centralized voting centers being used in Tuesday’s Third congressional district special election should cast absentee ballots. The deadline to request a ballot is Saturday.
Requests for ballots must be received by noon, Saturday, July 10, at the board of elections.
Absentee ballots can be cast at the county board of elections through Monday, July 12, at 4 p.m. Mailed ballots must be postmarked by Monday, or hand-delivered to the board before the polls close at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 13. The polls open that day at 6:30 a.m.
The district contains most of Montgomery County, northern Warren County and all of Clinton and Highland Counties.
Voters on Tuesday will choose a Democratic candidate to run against U.S. Rep. Mike Turner, R-Centerville, in the November General Election.
Democrat Dr. Mark MacNealy dropped out of the race after winning his uncontested primary in May, and has been replaced by David Esrati, 47, of Dayton, Guy Fogle, 48, of Miamisburg and Joe Roberts, 25, of Kettering. Learn more about the candidates here.
In June the Ohio Legislature approved the centralized voting centers only for Congressional primaries that occur on or before Aug. 4. So far the Third District is the only one with a primary.
“This will save money for the state,” said Kevin Kidder, spokesman for Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, “Where we can save money and still provide a smooth, efficient election we’re in favor of it.”
