Ohio Set to Hold Special Primary Election

As a result of disputed redistricting maps, Ohio will conduct its primary election for Statehouse races Tuesday, Aug. 2 — three months later than originally planned. Check out this voter toolkit for details on the primary, including help with locating your polling place.

The Aug. 2 primary ballot will include the following:

• Ohio House races;
• Ohio Senate races;
• Democrat/Republican State Central Committee candidates; and
• Local issues and measures.

State officials say that voter confusion over an unprecedented second primary election could lead to low turnout. At last check, Democrats have far outpaced Republicans in early voting and requests for absentee ballots. A county-by-county breakdown can be found here. 7/28/2022
