Summit County Board of Elections office moves to East Tallmadge Avenue location
Those wishing to vote early or have other business with the Summit County Board of Elections will need to go to the elections board's new location at 1050 Tallmadge Ave.
The board of elections office officially opened at its new location on June 30 from its longtime spot on Grant Street. Pete Zeigler, the deputy director of the board of elections, said that Summit County is leasing the space, which is adjacent to the Ohio Means Jobs offices, from the Summit County Land Bank.
"We're in the same big building," Zeigler said of the close proximity the elections board office shares with OMJ. "We now have signage up as well so people can find us."
The Grant Street location is now closed.
There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening at 2 p.m. July 15. Tours will follow the ceremony. Those wishing to attend should RSVP at
The new space will provide more room for not only the staff but for Summit County residents, particularly early voters, Zeigler said.
"The county realized that we were limited if we had stayed there," he said of the Grant Street location. "It was undersized in both our storage needs and in areas for staff to work, and our early voting center. In 2016, we started early voting, and it has skyrocketed since. There was no means to expand the building and parking."
Regular hours at the board are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
