COLUMBUS, Ohio – The pace of early voting in Franklin County was much faster Tuesday than on the first day of voting for Ohio’s last gubernatorial election, but data indicates many people are not yet interested in casting absentee ballots in the Nov. 4 election
On the first day of in-person absentee voting, 301 voters cast ballots at the Franklin County Board of Elections, compared with 169 on the first day of absentee voting for the 2010 election, board spokesman Ben Piscitelli said.
The 88,152 ballots requested by mail in Franklin County is 37 percent lower than the 139,378 request 30 days before the general election four years ago, Piscitelli said.
