How to vote in Ohio's special primary election May 2 — or check if you need to vote at all

Election officials are predicting a low turnout for Ohio's special primary election on Tuesday, May 2. Only a few communities have issues on the ballot and others won't need to vote at all.

Hamilton County Board of Elections Director Sherry Poland says often times, the biggest issue is people showing up expecting to vote, only to find an empty polling place.

"Those voters will show up to their polling place expecting there to be an election, and so we do anticipate some calls about that on Election Day from voters just wondering why their polling place is not open," she says.

Even so, she expects voter turnout for areas that do have something on the ballot to be relatively low, somewhere between 10-15% in Hamilton County.

Warren County Board of Elections Director Brian Sleeth predicts the same for his county.
