National Voter Registration Day!

(Columbus) Today marks another National Voter Registration Day which is an excellent opportunity to remind Franklin County residents who are not registered that they have until Monday, October 6, 2025, to register to be eligible to vote in the November 4, 2025, General Election. Ohio voters who are registered but have moved recently also need to update their new address by the same deadline.

“Accurate up to date addresses of our registered voters ensures they’ll cast a regular ballot and not have to cast a provisional ballot on Election Day, stated Board Director Antone White.”

Below are the requirements one must meet to be a qualified voter:

- Must be a U.S. citizen

- Must be at least 18 years old on or before the day of the next general election

- Registered to vote at least 30 days before the election and be an Ohio resident at least 30 days before the election

- Name

- Date of Birth

- Address

- Valid Ohio driver’s license number, Ohio identification card number, or last four digits of Social Security number
