Seven Mile, Ohio Public Records

Registration must be completed 30 days before Election Day. A valid Ohio driver's license or state ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number, is required. Because the community is unincorporated, there are no municipal elections for mayor or city council. Instead, residents vote in Hanover Township trustee elections, which fill three trustee seats on staggered four-year terms. Residents also participate in Butler County offices, state legislative races, statewide offices, and federal contests. Voters can find their assigned polling place using the lookup tool at www.butlercountyelections.org or by calling the Board of Elections, with precinct assignments determined by residential address. Ohio does not have a U.S. Under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3509, voters can request absentee ballots (called mail-in ballots) for any reason. Applications are available at www.butlercountyelections.org and must be received by the Saturday before Election Day for most elections, though ballots must be postmarked by the day before Election Day and received within 10 days after to be counted. Early in-person voting is available at the Board of Elections beginning approximately four weeks before Election Day. Public election records in Ohio include voter registration lists (available for purchase by campaigns and political parties under ORC 3503.26), campaign finance reports filed with the Ohio Secretary of State at www.ohiosos.gov for state-level candidates and with local boards for local candidates, candidate petitions and filings, precinct-level election results, and official canvass reports - all accessible through the Board of Elections or Secretary of State websites. Voters can view sample ballots, election results, and voter guides at www.butlercountyelections.org typically 30-45 days before each election.
