Those interested in voting in the March 17 Ohio primary election must register by Tuesday. Registered voters who moved in the past 30 days must update their addresses with the Board of Elections in the county where they live.
Many locations where residents may register to vote will be closed Monday for Presidents Day, Lorain County Board of Elections Director Paul Adams said. However, the board will be open from 8:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Tuesday, he said.
The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections will also remain open until 9 p.m. that day.
Registration also can be completed online before midnight Tuesday at https://olvr.ohiosos.gov/NCOA/NCOA.
Eligibility
To vote, a person must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old and an Ohio resident for 30 days prior to the election. Those who will be 18 on or before the Nov. 3 general election may register to vote for candidates only in the primary. There are a few exceptions and they can be found here: https://www.ohiosos.gov/elections/voters/voter-eligibility-residency-reqs/#qualifications

Where to register:
Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, 2925 Euclid Ave., Cleveland
