More than two million Ohioans have requested absentee ballots to be sent to them, but some of those voters are having second thoughts.
Westlake resident Tony DiBiasio ordered a mail-in ballot. But he鈥檚 been reading news stories that have made him rethink that decision.
鈥淪o I was looking at the possibility of going and voting in person,鈥� DiBiasio said.
DiBiasio鈥檚 board of elections in Cuyahoga County told him if he voted in person instead, he鈥檇 have to vote using a provisional ballot. That鈥檚 only true if he votes on Election Day itself.
Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has issued a directive proving some clarifcation. People who decide they want to vote in person after requesting an absentee ballot can still cast a regular ballot by voting early at the county boards of elections. Early voting takes places in Ohio from October 6 until November 2.
