Election Day is Here – Polls are Open

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – Election day is tomorrow and as voters head out
to the polls, the Board of Elections is preparing for the tabulation
process. Timothy Thompson, Director of the Board of Elections, says
voters will have about 13 hours to cast their ballots and should
remember to bring some form of identification to the polls.

“Polls open at
6:30 and they’ll be open all day until 7:30. Voters can go to their
locations that they’re registered at and cast their ballots there
at the polls. Most people have their drivers license or the last four
of their social security number. There’s also bills—utility bills
or whatever that has the name and address that people can use to
identify themselves.”

When it comes to
write-in races, results may not be available until Wednesday.

“It’ll just take
us a little while to be able to tabulate those and count those for
election night. We may not have it completed on election night; so be
patient.”
