You can request an absentee ballot in Ohio for any/no reason. However you MUST mail in your application. Get the form fill it out and mail in with plenty of time to receive your ballot, fill it out, and return (by mail or in person) in time to meet the legal requirements. Some have suggested you should deliver your ballot in person, due to attempts to suppress voting by hobbling the postal service. In any case, give plenty of time for your ballot to be received on time to be counted. Ballots received AFTER election day WILL NOT BE COUNTED. The law states you may mail your ballot up to Election day...BUT IT WON'T BE COUNTED UNLESS RECEIVED BY Election Day.
You may search for -Board of Elections [state] [county]- to find where to drop off your ballot.
