Blakeslee, Ohio Public Records

Registration closes 30 days before any election. Voters need to provide their Ohio driver's license or state ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number, along with their date of birth. Since the community is unincorporated with no municipal government, residents don't vote for city council or mayor. Instead, they participate in Pulaski Township trustee and fiscal officer elections, which take place in odd-numbered years during the May primary and November general election. Polling locations can be found at www.williamscountyboe.gov or by calling the Board. Ohio offers in-person early voting starting 28 days before Election Day at the Board office in Bryan, with extended evening and weekend hours in the final week. Any registered voter can request an absentee ballot for mail voting. Applications are available at www.ohiosos. Ohio doesn't have a U.S. Senate seat up that year, but voters will elect a Governor (incumbent Mike DeWine's term expires), all state executive offices including Attorney General and Secretary of State, Ohio State Senate and House representatives for their districts, and all Williams County offices including Commissioner, Sheriff, Prosecutor, Auditor, Recorder, Treasurer, Engineer, and Coroner, as these positions are elected in presidential midterm years on a four-year cycle. Pulaski Township trustees may also be on the ballot depending on term schedules. Public election records in Ohio include voter registration lists (available for purchase by campaigns and political committees), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and PACs (searchable at www.ohiosos.gov/campaign-finance), candidate petitions and declarations of candidacy, precinct-level election results, and polling place assignment records. All are accessible through the Williams County Board of Elections or the Ohio Secretary of State's office.
