  • Ballots must be postmarked by Monday, November 2
  • Mail or drop your ballot off to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, 2925 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, OH 44115
  • The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) estimates that it may take two to five days for your voted absentee ballot to be delivered to your board of elections by mail.

If you are mailing your ballot during the week before Election Day, you should take it to USPS no later then the day before Election Day (Monday, November 2) and ensure it receives a postmark as follows:

  • If you use a postage label purchased at a USPS customer service window or vending machine, the date on the label is the postmark. This is the USPS-recommended way to postmark your ballot.
  • If you use postage stamps, ask that it be postmarked.
