A Letter to the Editor from the Holmes County Board of Elections

To the Editor:
As director of the Holmes County Board of Elections, I am writing today to encourage your readers to register to vote, or make sure their registration is up to date with the board of elections. Ohio law does not allow votes to be counted unless votes are cast in the correct precinct, so it is imperative that boards of elections have current information on voters in order to count their votes.
As your readers may know, this year every registered voter in Ohio will be receiving an application to vote by mail. Boards of elections need to have up to date information from voters no later than July 4 in order to get that application to them. Thus, it is imperative that anyone wanting to vote this fall get registered or get current information to the board of elections sooner rather than later.
Registering to vote, or updating your information is easy. One can request a registration form from our website at www.holmescountyboardofelections.com or can call the Holmes County Board of Elections at 330-674-5921. Our staff is eager to help with any questions people have.
This year promises to be an exciting election, and we urge all who wish to participate to do so.
Lisa Welch
Director
