CINCINNATI — It's time for voters to head back to the polls for Ohio's special/primary election.
While Ohioans were able to select candidates for governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House and more in May, races for the state legislature were omitted from the ballots due to Ohio's redistricting issues. Now, those races are finally on the ballot.
