Carroll County voters who want to cast a ballot ahead of the November 3 general election can vote early in person this week at the Carroll County Board of Elections, 211 Moody Avenue SW, Suite 107, in Carrollton. The posted hours for Monday, October 19 through Friday, October 23 are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day.
Early in-person voting has been underway in Ohio since October 6, and the Carroll County schedule follows the statewide calendar set by the Ohio Secretary of State. Voters who come this week should bring a valid, unexpired photo ID that shows their name and photograph, such as an Ohio driver license, a State of Ohio ID card, a U.S. passport or passport card, or U.S. military identification.
The hours expand as Election Day approaches. Carroll County will also offer early voting on Saturday, October 24 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The following week brings longer days, and early voting ends on Sunday, November 1 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., under the statewide calendar.
Voters who prefer to vote by mail still have a key deadline ahead. Absentee ballot applications must be received by the board of elections by 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 27. In Carroll County, a completed application can be mailed to the board in Carrollton or delivered in person, and voters who cannot print an application can call the board at 330-627-2610 and ask about their options.
Anyone who has already received an absentee ballot should plan its return carefully. A completed ballot returned in person at the board office avoids any risk of a late mail delivery in the final days, and ballots must be received by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day, November 3, to be counted.
Voters who wait for Election Day itself will vote at their assigned polling place on Tuesday, November 3, when polls across Ohio are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. The same photo ID requirement applies at the polls, and board staff can answer questions about registration, polling places or ballot status at 330-627-2610.
With two weeks left before Election Day, election officials are encouraging Carroll County voters to use the weekday hours while lines are shortest. Voting this week, requesting a mail ballot before the October 27 deadline, or making a plan for November 3 all lead to the same result: a ballot cast and counted in the 2026 general election.
