Voting for the Sixth District Congressional Race in Ohio will take place tomorrow and some folks in various communities tell us they're having problems making their voices heard.

21 News has received calls and emails from voters in Austintown and Poland who told us they had filled out their absentee ballot applications and sent them out, but have never received their ballots in the mail.

One voter in Austintown says they did receive their absentee ballot on Monday, June 10, 20 days after mailing in the application, but there was no post mark or date on the envelope and the ballots must be post marked Monday in order to be counted.

A statement was released by Democratic Congressional Candidate Michael Kripchak's campaign acknowledging this issue:

"In response to concerns regarding the handling of mail-in and absentee ballots, the campaign of Michael Kripchak for U.S. Congress is issuing an urgent reminder to voters about their options to ensure their vote is counted in this pivotal election. Several residents have reported never receiving their absentee ballot."

21 News has reached out to Mahoning County Board of Elections Director Tom McCabe who explained that the U.S. Postal Service did receive those ballots by June 1 and they were tagged as "priority election mail." However, the calls started coming in Friday with people wondering why they hadn't received their ballots yet.

McCabe tells 21 News this issue has affected the county as a whole with at least 300 people not getting their ballots until Friday, June 7 and some still showing up on Monday.

This issue was not limited to just Mahoning County, however, as Columbiana County Board of Elections Administrative Assistant Niki Wilkinson told 21 News some voters in Columbiana County experienced this issue as well.

Wilkinson tells us an unknown issue arose at the downtown East Liverpool post office causing about 22 voters in East Liverpool and St. Clair Township not to get their absentee ballots in a timely manner.

However, Wilkinson says all residents have since gotten their ballots in the mail.

Both Boards of Elections tell us they've reached out to the U.S. Postal Service to find out what went wrong, but have yet to receive answers as to what happened.

If you did not receive your absentee ballot in a timely manner or are still waiting on it, McCabe says you have a few options to make sure your vote still counts.

Firstly, as long as your absentee ballot is postmarked by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, June 10, you can still mail it in up until Friday, June 14 and your vote will still be counted.

Alternatively, you can fill out your ballot and drop it off in person during Election Day on Tuesday, June 11 by 7:30 p.m., or you can show up to vote in person on Tuesday until 7:30 p.m.

Kripchak's campaign's statement adds that if you had already sent in your absentee ballot and have not received confirmation of its receipt, you can cast a provisional ballot as a precaution.
