Your Public Library can help you register to vote

Sep 25, 2020

National Voter Registration Day took place earlier this week– but it’s certainly not too late to register.

The Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Library would like everyone to know you can register to vote and submit an Ohio vote-by-mail application at any branch of the Public Library.

The Library has the required paper forms, and after individuals complete the forms the Library will send them to the Hamilton County Board of Elections.

Faculty members are encouraged to share information with students, too.
