Have you visited the online site for the CCHS? How about Records and
Archives....They are both continuously adding things to their holdings. It
would help, though, to know what timeframe you're speaking of, as I imagine
there is a vast difference in availability, depending on the dates. (the
only voting record I, personally, have seen, I found in the basement of an
Ohio county historical society, in a box of loose papers...it just gave the
year [early 1800s] and the names of eligible voters...) I would think,
though, that officials would be very careful when making names of eligible
voters available to all......that calls up all sorts of possibilities for
vote fraud.

" Does anyone know if the lists of registered voters are available to the
public ?> I'm thinking it could be another avenue to research-- Are older
records kept ? What happens to the records of deceased voters ?"
