With Election Day coming up on Tuesday, November 3, I wanted to share a helpful resource for our Greene County residents!

You can check your voter registration status and find information about your polling location through the Greene County Board of Elections.

It only takes a few minutes to look up your information, and it's always a good idea to double-check before Election Day, especially if you've recently moved!

Here's the link to get started:
https://lookup.boe.ohio.gov/vtrapp/greene/vtrlookup.aspx

Let's make sure everyone has the information they need to participate in this year's election!

Did you know that Ohio allows eligible residents to register to vote online?

The Ohio Secretary of State has a simple online registration system where you can register to vote or update your voter information.

The deadline to register for the November 3 election was October 5, but you can still register now for future elections!

Here's the official registration website: https://olvr.ohiosos.gov/

Whether you're registering for the first time or making sure your information is up to date, it's good to know where to find these resources.

If you've checked your voter registration and noticed that your status is inactive, or something doesn't look right, DON’T PANIC!

In Ohio, an inactive registration doesn't necessarily mean you can't vote. Sometimes a registration is flagged because someone has moved, hasn't voted in several years, or hasn't responded to a notice asking them to confirm their information.

Here's what I encourage you to do:
1. Check your voter registration information online.
2. Contact the Greene County Board of Elections to confirm your status and find out if anything needs to be updated.
3. If you're still registered and eligible, you may still be able to vote in the November 3 election!

You can also check Ohio's Registration Readiness List to see if your registration is scheduled for removal in January 2027.

I want everyone in Greene County to know where to find reliable information and get their questions answered before Election Day!

Last week I had the opportunity to stand in front of the Xenia Post Office with Rep. Mike Turner as he discussed a plan for a name change for the post office to honor Weatherman GilWhitney, who was instrumental in saving hundreds of lives by breaking into the newscast and warning of the devastating F5 tornado that ripped through Xenia in 1974. It's always good to remember those who have gone above and beyond to save others' lives. That's what community is about. You can learn more about the plan and the legislation needed for the change here:

Gil Whitney broke into programming on April 3, 1974, to warn people of a devastating F5 tornado.
