TOLEDO, Ohio — Voters went to the polls Tuesday to cast ballots in an abbreviated Ohio primary. Thanks to an ongoing court fight over redrawing the boundaries of the state legislative districts, those races did not appear on the May 3 ballot.
But voters will decide Democratic and Republican nominees for statewide offices including governor and Ohio's open U.S. Senate seat.
Locally, voters also will decide party nominees for countywide races, including county commissioners.
Ballots included school levies, a Lucas County Mental Health Services levy renewal and a levy to expand police coverage in Springfield Township, among other issues.
