transportation to vote early or at polls on Election Day, Nov. 5.
“Transportation should never hinder anyone from exercising their right to vote,” said Laketran CEO Ben Capelle in a statement. “We are committed to ensuring that Geauga residents have the necessary access to participate in the election, whether that means getting to the polls on Nov. 5 or voting early.”
County residents can take the local regional transit service for free to their polling location on Nov. 5, or to the Geauga County Board of Elections, 470 Center St., building 6, in Chardon for early voting, GT said in a press release.
Early voting started Oct. 8 and continues until Nov. 3. Polling locations in Geauga County are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 5. There is no in-person voting at the board of elections.
Geauga Transit provides door-to-door transit service throughout county and requires a reservation, which can be made as early as one week prior to your trip and as late as the same day, according to GT.
It is recommended to call as early as possible as reservations are made on a first-call, first-serve basis. To schedule a reservation, call Geauga Transit Dispatch at 440-754-5555.
For early voting times or to find your voting location, contact the board of elections at 440-279-2030 or visit www.boe.ohio.gov/geauga.
