Ohio voters cast their ballots early for the November 2022 election in record numbers, Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced on Monday evening.

According to a release from LaRose, 1,550,440 million Ohio voters either requested an absentee ballot or cast their ballot early in person, breaking the previous record set in 2018 for a 'Gubernatorial General Election' by 3.9%.

“The record-setting number of Ohioans who utilized our two early voting options is great news for those hoping for shorter lines on Election Day,” said LaRose in a statement. “While we still expect a particularly strong turnout, we’re confident our bipartisan election officials are prepared and ready to execute on another successful election. Make sure your voice is heard.”

Data shows that 549,771 Ohioans voted early in-person in this election, compared to 429,521 at the same point in 2018. LaRose says absentee ballot requests have decreased slightly from four years ago. As of Monday afternoon more than 154,000 outstanding absentee ballots had yet to be returned.
