Ohio’s next big statewide in‑person voting days are:

  • Primary election: Tuesday, May 5, 2026 – polls are scheduled to be open roughly 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
  • General election: Tuesday, November 3, 2026 – this is the 2026 statewide general election (governor, U.S. House, one U.S. Senate seat, state legislature, and more).

Early voting in Ohio typically starts 28 days before Election Day and runs until a couple of days before, with separate in‑person absentee/early‑vote windows before the May primary as well.

For exact hours, local election dates (like city or school board races), and any last‑minute changes, you should plug your address into the Ohio Secretary of State or your county Board of Elections site so you’re seeing the current official calendar.
