Ohio voters now must show photo ID. Elections officials are worried that some voters might be turned away if they bring identification that has expired.

The surge in early voting surprised election officials, who expected a slow start because of the elections unusual timing.

Though Secretary of State Frank LaRose pushed to get Issue 1 on the August ballot, he said Saturday he expects low turnout for the high-stakes vote.

Over 35,000 Ohioans voted early on Aug. 1, marking the most in-person votes cast for Issue 1 in a single day so far.

A little-known part of Ohios new election law requires voters who want to request absentee ballots to fill out a state-issued application.

Despite early concerns of low turnout, Issue 1 has driven nearly 20,000 Ohioans per day to vote early this week. Campaign spending could be behind it.
