Good morning, Logan County Chronicle subscribers! Today is Primary Election Day in Ohio, and the polls opened up early this morning at 6:30 a.m. and remain open until 7:30 p.m. If you’re not sure of your polling location, you can search for it at the Logan County Board of Elections website, https://www.boe.ohio.gov/logan/precinct-and-polling-location-info/

It’s a lighter ballot locally, but there are several levies that will appear on today’s ballot, including the countywide Logan County Board of Developmental Disabilities levy. We have more information about each of the ballot issues in our recent early voting story: https://www.logancountychronicle.com/p/early-voting-wrapping-up-ahead-of-may-5-primary
