MOUNT VERNON — All Knox County voters will vote at a single location for the May 2 special election. The Knox County Board of Elections office, on the first floor of 104 East Sugar St. in Mount Vernon, will be the only Election Day polling place for all of the county’s 53 precincts. All registered voters will receive a postcard notifying them of the change.
The change in the polling place is the result of a unanimous vote by the members of the bipartisan Board of Elections.
Again this year, the Board of Elections office will serve as the county’s early voting location, with the early voting period beginning on Tuesday, April 4, and running through Sunday, April 30.
Voters are encouraged to take advantage of the multiple methods for casting ballots in the May special election:
- Absentee by mail: To obtain an absentee ballot, go to voteohio.gov or stop by the Board of Elections office to request a ballot. All absentee ballot applications must be received by the Board of Elections no later than 8:30 p.m. on April 25. Completed ballots can be returned by mail and postmarked no later than May 1, or dropped off at the Board of Elections' outside ballot box or at our offices, no later than 7:30 p.m. on May 2.
- Early: Vote early at the Board of Elections office. The early voting period runs from Tuesday, April 4 to Sunday, April 30.
