Officials plan rally to get early voters to the polls

Posted: Updated:

Early voting in Ohio begins tomorrow.

Tonight city and state leaders are hosting a rally called "Sleep out the Vote."

It's a statewide initiative aimed at getting people to vote early.

Organizers are encouraging people to spend the night near the early voting center so they can be among the first to cast their ballots.

That rally starts tonight at 7 p.m. across from the Summit YMCA.
