DeWine Orders Ohio Polls Closed on Election Day

March 16, 2020 at 11:16 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) announced late Monday that polls will be closed on Tuesday for the presidential primary election, citing a “health emergency” tied to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The decision will be made despite a judge ruling earlier that he would not postpone the primary.
