Second primary election on Aug. 2

NORWALK — Ohio will have a second primary election on Aug. 2. This does not replace or alter the election that occurred on May 3. The second primary is due to the Ohio Redistricting Commission's maps being rejected by the Ohio Supreme Court prior to the May election.
