Don't Forget Today is Ohio's Primaries

WARREN COUNTY, OH -- Ohio’s Primaries are on Tuesday, May 3, 2022. While voters will still be voting on local issues and party candidates for county and Federal level to run in the November election,  state positions are not on the May Primary Ballot. This includes the Ohio House, the Ohio Senate and the State Central Committee. The reason they are missing is because on March 16, 2022, the Supreme Court of Ohio invalidated the Ohio General Assembly district plan that effect these voting districts.

Voter district information for Ohio House, Ohio Senate, and State Central Committee will be updated as soon as that information is available.

Issues that Warren County residents will see on their ballot, depending upon where the voter lives, will be the following:

• Middeltown - A proposed bond issue 
• Loveland - fire tax levy add 1.75 mills 
• Franklin - 03 Franklin City Charter Section 3.03
