This year, Ohio elections will operate a little differently after Senate Bill 293 passed, which eliminated a grace period that allowed mail-in absentee ballots to be counted up to four days after the election. Now, all domestic mail-in ballots will have to reach the board of elections by the time polls close on Election Day.
These are the candidates and issues that filed by the deadline Wednesday for the May 5 primary. The Clark County Board of Elections must certify that they met the requirements to be on the ballot by Feb. 17.
