Thousands of Ohioans are going to the polls tomorrow to cast their ballots in the primary for governor, US Senator, Congress and state lawmakers as well as a plan to change the redistricting process – and there are nearly 500 local levies and other issues on the ballot. More than 128,000 Ohioans have already voted early. If you haven’t and want to vote tomorrow, you’ll have to do that at your precinct. You can find that location on the secretary of state’s website or by calling your local board of elections. You must bring ID - a valid driver’s license, state i.d. card, or utility bill, bank statement or government check. But it must be in your name and it must show your address. Student id’s are not accepted. If you don’t have ID or it doesn’t match, you can still vote with a provisional ballot, which will be counted if a valid ID is shown at the board of elections within seven days. Polls are open until 7:30. Historically, turnout in primary elections has been less than 30 percent. Copyright 2018 The Statehouse News Bureau. To see more, visit The Statehouse News Bureau.
