Early voting…or absentee voting for the May 3 primary…begins today. Voting machines are set up in the Williams County elections office…on E. High St., in Bryan, to cast early voting ballots. Residents may also visit or call the elections office for an early voting application. The Ohio Supreme Court has repeatedly struck down the voting-district maps created by the Ohio Redistricting Commission, saying they violate the state constitution and reforms approved by voters in 2015 and 2018. So…voters will cast ballots on all candidates and issues…except for state legislature…and candidates for each party’s state central committees.
