Here\u2019s an update with the latest information.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Ohio Department of Health has ordered the polls to be closed today due to public health concerns. Tuesday\u2019s in-person election is postponed. See the announcement from the Ohio Secretary of State here:\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.ohiosos.gov\/media-center\/press-releases\/2020\/2020-03-16\/<\/span><\/a>\r\n\r\nEarly this morning, the Ohio Supreme Court denied a lawsuit challenging moving the date of the primary election and allowed a delay in the in-person vote. There may be more litigation but, according to the <\/span>Ohio Secretary\u2019s directive<\/span><\/a>, votes already cast will count, and those who have not already voted will have a chance to do so. Common Cause Ohio will work hard to make sure this is the case.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nWhile the timing and roll out of the decision were unfortunate to say the least, we here at Common Cause <\/span>Ohio believe that it will save lives and ultimately allow more votes to count. Postponing the election became necessary because so many poll workers are over the age of 70. Not all counties were able to provide the necessary sanitation and cleaning materials. There was no way to proceed and keep poll workers and voters safe.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nVoters with completed absentee vote-by-mail ballots in hand should return them to their county board of elections no later than 7:30pm today, Tuesday, March 17. Although we hope and assume that further voting will be possible, it makes sense to return completed ballots now if that is possible.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nWe will make sure that you have good up to date information as we move forward, and we\u2019ll continue to advocate for voters and improvements in Ohio's election laws and practices.<\/span>\r\n\r\nDo you use social media? Please help us get the word out and amplify accurate information!\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
