Physically unable to sign your name?
If you are physically unable to sign election-related documents, such as
petitions, absentee request form and signature book you may file an
Attorney in Fact form with the Union County Board of Elections that
allows a legally competent Ohio resident who is 18 years of age or older
as an “attorney in fact” to sign the voter’s name to the election
-related document on the voter’s behalf. You may click on the following
types of Attorney in Fact forms;

Notary Public and

Acknowledged Before an Election Official.
May a voter receive assistance in voting?
Persons with a physical or mental disability or who are unable to read
or write may be assisted by anyone of their own choice, except an
employer or his/her agent, a union officer, or a candidate whose name
appears on the ballot. The voter may be assisted by two poll workers of
opposite political parties. No one who assists a voter may disclose any
information about how that person voted.
How do I establish which party’s ballot I am entitled to vote in a
Primary?
If you are a new voter, you may vote the primary ballot of any
political party. Including the current year and the immediate preceding
two calendar years if you voted the primary ballot of a political party
then to be able to vote a different political party ballot you must
change your party affiliation by signing a statement to that effect when
you vote.
* You may vote on issues only at a Primary without declaring a Political
Party*
