Board faced unique challenges during elections
SIDNEY The 2020 election cycle was historically unique in so many ways.
For the first time in history, Ohio primary elections on March 17 were suspended just two hours prior to polling locations opening. This was a result of four different court orders being issued in an eight hour period at the request of the governor due to the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak.
“Accordingly, our local board followed the statewide orders of Secretary of State Frank LaRose and suspended voting as constitutionally scheduled,” said Chairperson James Kerg. “Subsequently, the Ohio legislature stepped in and authorized extending the primary election utilizing absentee voting which was completed on April 28 and locally certified on May 11. During the summer the Board conducted a special election for local tax levy issues on Aug. 4.”
