Welcome to the League of Women Voters online Voters Guide 2005: Nonpartisan Information Published as a Public Service by the League of Women Voters.
This voters guide is a project of the League of Women Voters of Cleveland Educational Fund, serving all of Cuyahoga County.
GENERAL ELECTION
November 8, 2005
Polls are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
YOUR ASSIGNED VOTING LOCATION
The Board of Elections notifies registered voters by mail of their assigned
voting location and precinct number. If you have not received this information,
or if you want to verify it, call the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections
(216) 443-3200 or visit their web
site. The Secretary of State’s
office maintains a phone line to provide information on registration and
voting
for deaf
citizens.
The TTY number is (614) 466-0562. In Ohio, ballots cast in the wrong precinct
will not be counted.
CHANGE OF ADDRESS
If you have changed your home address within Ohio’s boundaries or within
your precinct since the last time you voted in an election, but you did not
notify the Board of Elections prior to the Voter Registration Deadline, October
11, 2005, you can still vote on Election Day by going to the voting location
and precinct that corresponds to your new address and voting with a “Provisional
Ballot,” see below. Call the Board of Elections to verify your voting
location and precinct number.
CHANGE OF NAME
If you have changed your name since the last time you voted in an election,
but you did not notify the Board of Elections prior to the Voter Registration
Deadline, October 11, 2005, you can still vote on Election Day by going
to your assigned voting location and reporting your change of name prior
to voting.
VOTING ON ELECTION DAY
The polls are open from 6:30 A.M. until 7:30 P.M. on Election Day, November
8, 2005. Go to your assigned voting location and precinct to sign in and
vote. If your name is not listed on the poll books, you may be entitled
to vote with a Provisional Ballot. If you have any difficulty with the
voting process, make sure you ask for help from a poll worker.
VOTING BY PROVISIONAL BALLOT
In Ohio, Provisional Ballots will be issued only to voters who, after giving
their address, appear to be in the correct precinct but are not listed
on the registration poll book. Provisional Ballot votes will be counted
once the Board of Elections has verified the address and registration status
of the voter. (As per Secretary of State on 9/18/04)
