Introduction
Provisional ballots are meant to be a failsafe for voters, who are required to cast them when their eligibility is in question. But such ballots require extra steps to ensure they’re counted, increasing the odds they ultimately won’t be.

A slightly increased percentage of in-person voters in Ohio cast provisional ballots in 2020 compared to 2016, the report found. Counties with a higher percentage of Black and brown residents and young voters had elevated provisional ballot use, a finding in keeping with national trends, while it was lower in counties with higher median incomes.
Student government joint session recap
The joint meeting between the Undergraduate Student Senate and the Graduate Student Assembly (GSA) on April 7 ratified the results of the student government election, and also set a new precedent by holding the first election of the Activities Board (AB) Main Chair.
Alexis Ozimok and Catherine Taipe were elected as student body president and vice president respectively, receiving over 50 percent of the 1147 ballots cast and also receiving over the minimum one percent of the graduate vote. The Elections Board also mentioned several potential violations in the election process by candidates and the penalties that had been incurred. There were reports of misinformation from the Ozimok/Taipe and Hyder/Abrams campaigns, candidates Sarah Abrams and Clarissa Liang cold-emailing students using the Andrew Directory, and candidates Ozimok/Taipe, Abrams, and Ariana Carden using their power in social media groups to spread their campaign.
