"Central Ohio's May 2 Primary: Your Essential Guide"

Ohio is holding its primary/special election today, with municipal and school levies in some communities across the region. Polls are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. statewide. A new Ohio law requires voters to show photo ID for in-person voting at the polls. Voters in the Madison-Plains Local Schools will help decide a bond issue levy for replacing schools, and there is a mayoral race in Gahanna, where both candidates will advance to the general election regardless of the outcome. The Madison-Plains Local School District levy would cost property owners $347 for each $100,000 of county appraised property value if approved.
