Ohio ends mail-in ballot grace period, effective 2026, to avoid potential Supreme Court conflict.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed a bill ending the state’s four-day grace period for mail-in ballots, requiring all ballots to arrive by Election Day, citing concerns over a pending U.S. Supreme Court case that could invalidate the grace period by June 2026.
The change, effective for the May 2026 primary and November general election, aims to avoid legal chaos if the Court rules against post-Election Day ballot acceptance.
While Republicans argue the move aligns Ohio with national standards and prevents election administration disruptions, Democrats warn it may disenfranchise voters, especially in rural areas.
The law also grants the secretary of state authority to cancel voter registrations based on citizenship data.
