The deadline for voters
to register in the state of Ohio has passed and the data
indicates the number of registered voters is less than the pervious 2008
election.
Millions of Ohio residents are
officially set to cast their ballot in the upcoming general elections, but that
number is still down from the last Presidential election.
According to researchers
roughly 7.9 million Ohioans are registered to vote, which is down from the
total of 8.2 million who were registered in 2008.
Secretary of State Jon
Husted says as of Friday more than one million people have applied for an
absentee ballot to vote by mail and another 13,000 military and overseas
absentee ballot have been requested.
More than 59,000 Ohioans already cast a ballot in person.
