COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — It's a presidential election year, and Ohio residents are running out of time to register to vote in the March 6 primary.

Monday is the deadline for registration forms to be turned in or postmarked, and for voters to submit any name or address changes that have taken place since they last voted.

Registration forms can be downloaded from the Ohio Secretary of State's website and mailed to county boards of elections. Voters also can submit the forms in person at a variety of sites, including the Secretary of State's office, local elections boards, public high schools or public libraries.

Early voting began last week and continues until March 2, the Friday before the election. The primary determines the respective Republican and Democratic nominees for office.
