LISBON — Columbiana County voters will have plenty of opportunities to cast a ballot for the May 6 primary/special election, with early in-person voting starting April 8.

The Columbiana County Board of Elections recently posted the schedule for early voting at the election board office, located at 7989 Dickey Drive, Suite 3, Lisbon.

Administrative Assistant Niki Wilkinson said any registered voter can just show up at the office with identification and vote, with their ballot scanned in immediately, just like on Election Day at the precincts.

The deadline to register to vote, for anyone who isn’t already registered, is 9 p.m. April 7. The election board office will be open that day from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. to accommodate any resident who needs to register. Residents can also register online via a link on the election board website at columbiana.boe.ohio.gov.

The schedule for the early in-person voting at the Lisbon office includes:

— 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 8-11, April 14-18 and April 21-25

— 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. April 28

— 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. April 29

— 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. April 30-May 2

— 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 3

— 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. May 4

For voters who request an absentee ballot and plan to return the ballot by mail, the ballot must be postmarked no later than May 5, the day before the election. For military personnel/overseas voters, the ballot must arrive no later than four days after the election. Absentee ballots can also be dropped off in person at the office or at the 24/7 drop box outside the office no later than 7:30 p.m. May 6.

On Election Day, voters who aren’t using an absentee ballot or who didn’t do early voting must visit their polling location to cast a ballot. The polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. May 6.

For many voters, the only items on the ballot will include the 1% sales tax renewal for Columbiana County, the .75-mill Children Services levy renewal and a state bond issue.

Republican ballots countywide will have the contested Columbiana County Municipal Court judge race between Judge Kelly Linger and Danielle Menning who are both seeking the Republican nomination.

Republican voters in Salem will have the contested Salem Council At Large race with four candidates vying for nominations for three seats. All Salem voters will have a Salem parks 1-mill levy renewal and Salem .25 percent income tax renewal on their ballots.

East Palestine voters will see a road levy renewal, Southern Local school district voters will see a levy renewal and Calcutta precinct voters will see two local liquor options for Walmart.
