Hamilton County Set to Kick Off Early Voting in 2024 Presidential Primary

HAMILTON COUNTY, Ohio - There will be a Presidential Primary Election on March 19th, 2024 with Early Voting beginning on Wednesday, February 21st.

There is still time to register to vote or to update a change of name or address for the Primary. The deadline to register or update is Tuesday February 20, 2024.

Check your registration status on our website, register or update your registration online, or appear in person at the Board of Elections office, public library, or BMV.

There are three ways to cast your ballot in the March 19th Primary Election:

  1. Voters may submit an application for a Vote by Mail ballot now. Ballots will be mailed beginning February 21st.
