New Rumley, Ohio Public Records

Information about upcoming elections is available through the Ohio Secretary of State's website at ohiosos.gov and directly from the county Board of Elections. Ohio residents here can register to vote online at olvr.ohiosos.gov, the state's Online Voter Registration system. Registration applications must be submitted at least 30 days before any election. Applicants must be U.S. Citizens, Ohio residents for at least 30 days, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction. A valid Ohio driver's license or state ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number, is required for online registration. Residents can also register in person at the Board of Elections or pick up paper forms from libraries and other public offices. Because this is an unincorporated community with no municipal government, there are no mayoral or city council elections. Instead, residents vote in Rumley Township trustee elections, where three trustees serve staggered four-year terms, and for the township fiscal officer. Township elections take place in odd-numbered years during the November general election. Harrison County offices appearing on the ballot include County Commissioners (three commissioners with staggered four-year terms), Sheriff, Auditor, Treasurer, Recorder, Clerk of Courts, Prosecutor, Coroner, Engineer, and Common Pleas Court judges. Voters can find their assigned polling place using the polling location lookup tool on the Ohio Secretary of State's website at ohiosos.gov or by contacting the Board of Elections directly. Polling locations are assigned by precinct based on residential address. Polls are open from 6:30 a.m. To 7:30 p.m. On Election Day throughout Ohio. Public election records in Ohio include voter registration lists (available with restrictions to prevent misuse), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and political action committees (searchable at the Ohio Secretary of State's campaign finance portal), candidate filings and petitions, precinct-level election results, and absentee ballot statistics. Ohio will elect a U.S. Senator, as one of the state's two Senate seats is up that year. All of Ohio's 15 U.S. At the state level, all 99 Ohio House of Representatives seats will be contested, along with roughly half of the 33 Ohio Senate seats, depending on the district cycle. County voters will also elect county officials whose terms expire in 2026, potentially including County Commissioner seats, and any township trustees or fiscal officers whose terms are ending. Local issues such as tax levies for schools, townships, or county services may also appear on the ballot. Ohio voters can request absentee ballots by submitting an application to the Harrison County Board of Elections. Applications are available online at the Secretary of State's website, at the Board of Elections office, or by mail request.

Ohio also offers early in-person voting at the Board of Elections office beginning four weeks before Election Day.
