With a week to go before the Aug. 8 special election in Ohio, early voting hours have expanded at the state's 88 county boards of election.
Hours this week through Friday are from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., except for Tuesday, when the doors will stay open until 8:30 p.m. There will also be hours this weekend on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Turnout for August elections is always challenging to predict. Vacations can physically take some voters away, while summer, in general, can mentally distract others. She's not alone. Issue 1, the question of whether to make it harder to amend the state constitution, is generating something August elections don't typically do: interest. Heading into the final week of in-person early voting, 10,253 had voted early in Cuyahoga County. That's already roughly three times the 3,094 who voted early in the special election in August of last year, and that's with a week still to go.
"These August elections can be pretty unpredictable," said Congresswoman Shontel Brown, who rallied Monday with area Faith Leaders to urge voters to reject Issue 1. Brown, of course, won a bitter Democratic primary in another special August election in 2021. She says the key is to identify your voters and lock them in early.
