Second primary election on Aug. 2
Jun. 10—NORWALK — Ohio will have a second primary election on Aug. 2.
This does not replace or alter the election that occurred on May 3. The second primary is due to the Ohio Redistricting Commission's maps being rejected by the Ohio Supreme Court prior to the May election. Due to the maps being delayed, the candidates for state representative, state senate, and state central committee did not have accurate districts in which they would represent.
All voters are eligible to vote in the Aug. 2 primary election even if they voted in the May 3 election.
