More than 680,000 registered voters are scheduled to receive postcards from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections starting this week, informing them where and how to apply for a Vote by Mail ballot.
The mailing is part of an effort to encourage voting by mail instead of facing long lines at the polls on Election Day, according to Jane Platten, director of the elections board.
Other important information on the cards includes hours of early voting at the Board of Elections, the voter’s polling location and precinct, and instructions for Election Day voting.
Vote by Mail applications are available on the Board of Elections website, boe.cuyahogacounty.us, by calling 216-443-3298, and at public libraries. They must be received by noon on Nov. 3.
