Mail-in ballots still available to voters
Mail-in ballots have started returning to the county Bureau of Elections, county commissioners said Wednesday.
Commissioner Kevin Boozel said the county has mailed more than 10,000 ballots to Butler County registered voters who requested a mail-in ballot for the May 17 primary election.
Those approximately 10,000 ballots mailed to eligible voters represent roughly one-third of the mail-in and absentee votes cast in the 2020 presidential election, but about the same as the 9,721 mail votes tabulated in the most recent municipal election in November 2021.
Voters who are interested in obtaining a mail-in ballot still have time to request one. Applications for mail-in and absentee ballots will be accepted until 5 p.m. May 10 at the county elections office. Interested voters may request a ballot online on the state’s website, via mail to the county elections office or in-person at the Butler County Bureau of Elections. Those applying via mail or in-person must use a state-promulgated form, available on the county website and at the elections office.
