Posted on July 25, 2018September 21, 2018 by Cuyahoga County Board of Elections

It’s that time of year to get re-energized and focused on National Voter Registration Day (NVRD), taking place on September 25, 2018! We hope you will join in our community efforts this year as a partner organization and/or volunteer!

Once again, the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, Cleveland VOTES, Cleveland Neighborhood Progress, and Nonprofit Vote are proudly organizing NVRD efforts across Greater Cleveland.There are many ways to get involved, whether it be through helping spread the word, volunteering to help with voter registration, or hosting a voter registration event of your own.

Community Collaboration Meetings
Participating organizations and volunteers will come together as a group twice this summer leading up to the main event. Please mark your calendars for the following dates:

Tuesday, July 31 from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.
Tuesday, August 28 from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.

Location: Cuyahoga County Board of Elections, 2925 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44115 (Map)

The first meeting will serve as an opportunity to network with one another, discuss best practices, review what worked and didn’t work last year, set goals/discuss how we can grow the event, etc. Our second meeting will be more tactical in nature to finalize details and discuss marketing.

New in 2018: Voter Engagement Resource Library

Posted on January 25, 2018 by Cuyahoga County Board of Elections

New in 2018, the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections has added a voter engagement resource library to its website. The library is meant to provide community partners and various organizations with the materials and resources they need to conduct voter registration drives and/or educate their constituents about the election process and voting.

The library can be used to access important forms, talking points, guidelines, marketing materials, sample presentations, and more. All materials can be easily downloaded, and links to our top partner sites are also provided for even more valuable information, ideas and materials. The site will be updated frequently as new materials are created specific to upcoming elections.

A New Year’s Resolution You Can Keep: Vote

Posted on January 10, 2018January 10, 2018 by Cuyahoga County Board of Elections

Happy New Year!
For many, January marks a period of personal reflection and goal setting for the upcoming year. As you set your new year’s resolutions for 2018, remember to add voting to your list. Resolve to be aware of and vote on the issues facing your community, state and country. Resolve to research candidates, and vote to elect those whom you believe will be the best leaders. Resolve to vote in every election, big or small. Let your voice be heard.

Your Vote Matters
In the past five years, 141 races and issues were decided by one vote or tied; 29 races in 2017 alone (Secretary Husted: A Single Vote Makes all the Difference). In fact, this past November, our Board members determined the outcome of one race by a coin toss! That’s right, the winner of the Cuyahoga Heights Village Council race was literally decided by a coin toss due to a tie vote.

Voter turnout continues to be on the low side:

November 7, 2017 General Election: 31% turnout
September 12, 2017 Primary Election: 13% turnout (Not a typo!)
May 2, 2017 Primary Election: 23% turnout

Few people are determining the outcomes of important elections. Encourage those you know to participate in the democratic process and practice your civic duty to vote.

2018 Elections Preview
In 2018, voters throughout Ohio will elect leaders to state and county offices. This includes: U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor, other state executives, State Senate, State House, State Supreme Court, intermediate appellate courts, local judges, and municipal government. There may also be statewide and local issues on the primary or general election ballot.

Dates of 2018 Elections:

May 8, 2018: Primary Election
August 7, 2018: Special Election (held if needed)
November 6, 2018: General Election
