Ohio holds congressional, presidential primary Tuesday after postponing voting due to coronavirus
COLUMBUS, Ohio —Ohio is holding primaries Tuesday, contests that were postponed last month and changed to an almost entirely vote-by-mail process amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Originally scheduled for March 17, the Ohio primary was abruptly delayed, and Gov. Mike DeWine (R) recommended that in-person voting be rescheduled to June 2. But after a chaotic series of events, the Ohio General Assembly eventually passed a bill setting April 28 as the date for the vote-by-mail primary. Ohio remains under a stay-at-home order.
On Monday, Ohio’s secretary of state said almost 2 million people had requested absentee ballots and just under 1.5 million had already voted. Only people with disabilities or who are homeless could cast provisional ballots Tuesday; others could drop off absentee ballots at Board of Elections offices.
