CLEVELAND (AP) — Elections officials in Cleveland are telling about 250,000 registered voters to update their home addresses to avoid problems on Election Day.

Voters have until Monday to update addresses with the Cuyahoga (keye-uh-HOH'-guh) County elections board. Otherwise, they may be directed to other polling places to vote by provisional ballots that would be counted 10 days after the election only if address information is confirmed.

About 250,000 mailed voting reminders have been returned to the board since the March primary. The names of voters whose reminders were returned have been flagged on polling-place voter books.


The county, with 1 million registered voters, has a history of election problems including computer failures, poorly trained poll workers and vote-counting delays.
