I’ll have physical addresses later- along with polling times and rules.
To determine where to vote in Montgomery county- use their “Finder” http://www.mcohio.org/boe/voter_information/polling_location_finder.cfm [5]
Polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., please bring valid ID. You can vote early today at the Montgomery County BOE in the basement of the Montgomery County Building: 451, W. Third Street, Dayton OH 45481 [6] until 4 p.m.
The three candidates are: David Esrati (you’re on my site), Guy N. Fogle [7] 10484 South Union Rd., Dayton, 45342, and Joe Roberts [8] 308 E. Dorothy Lane, Dayton, 45419. No other petitions turned in.
This is to elect a Democrat to the November ballot to face Republican incumbent Mike R. Turner in OH-3 for Congress.
If you want to vote absentee (it’s too late to request absentee)- they will have a request for the form online at: http://www.mcohio.org/boe/voter_information/absentee_voting/absenteeform.cfm [9]
Note THIS SITE IS NOT SECURE- therefore, I recommend only enter your birthday or any other non-secure info (leave out your driver’s license and last 4) then print it out- and fill those in by hand. Believe it or not- to receive a ballot- they insist on a original signature. Then make sure you mail it to the correct board of elections (the form will work in Warren, Highland or Clinton County).
If you don’t have the money for a stamp, you can call 937-228-4433 and I’ll be out to pick it up and hand deliver to the BOE. I’m now told only immediate family may deliver ballots or requests. I’ll supply postage if need be. Same goes for your ballots. This process is a way to disenfranchise poor voters who can’t find transportation to the polls or afford postage.
I will offer to drive people to polls- call 228-4433 to schedule.
We are still waiting for the Montgomery County Board of Elections to certify the names to go on the ballot- at their meeting tomorrow, Friday, 11 June, 2010, at their 1 p.m. board meeting.
UPDATE
The Montgomery County BOE has to invest in new electronic poll books, and ballot on demand printers to pull this off. This process has never been done before. How well the results will stand up to legal scrutiny after the fact will be interesting.
Warren County will have its normal polling places open – for the parts of Warren that are in OH-3 You can find what Congressional district you are in here: http://voterfind.tzo.org/warrenoh/vtrlookup.aspx [10]
You can early vote today: 406 Justice Drive Lebanon, OH 45036-2394 [11] (513) 261-1358 Until 4:00 pm.

Montgomery County had 5707 absentee ballots requested 3346 are in so far. Counting begins tomorrow- first posted results at 7:30 PM. All results from Montgomery County should be posted by 9pm since there are only 4 polling places.
IF YOU WANT TO TURN IN YOUR ABSENTEE BALLOT- that you didn’t mail- YOU MUST GO TO THE BOE.
Military and overseas votes won’t be final until 25 days after. Appx 300 were requested.
Results will have to be tabulated by visiting all 4 BOE sites until late election day when a complete total will be posted on the Secretary of State site- as well as Montgomery County.
You have my wife of 19 years vote as well as mine, you stated the Central Fairgrounds, which I assume is in Dayton? Will it be in one of the horse stalls on the backside of the race track, the office, or where they used to have basket ball games at the top of the steps. Please let us know so we as Americans can vote?
Are we assigned to a specific polling place, or will we be able to go to any (or all)?
@Roger You will be assigned to a single polling place- that’s what the mailing will address, although with the electronic poll books this shouldn’t really be a requirement.
That site is BOGUS!!!!! It has ZERO information on where you will vote for today’s election. I had to look up my sister’s polling place, and all it would say was the Mt. Pisgah Church location. A nice gentleman at the BoE gave me the proper place – MC Fairgrounds. Sheesh!
We will get to the polls shortly…we have put the word out for you…Good Luck!
