Early voting begins in Ohio's May 3 primary election: What you need to know

With confusion over the past several weeks regarding the state's congressional maps, election officials want you to know that the Ohio May 3 primary election is still happening. Not everything will be on the ballot, but they say that shouldn't deter you from making your voice heard.

"Democracy is not a spectators' sport. This is all skate," said citizen activist, Nancy Larson. "Everybody needs to be involved in this process for us to have full representation of every voice in this process."

The May 3 primary consists of congressional races as well as local offices. This election determines who will be on the ballot for the general election in November.

However, you will not be voting for everything that will be on the November ballot this time around.

"The things they will not see on this election will be the Ohio House of Representatives," said Terry Burton with the Wood County Board of Elections. "So, their local House and Senate if they're on the ballot, as well as state central committee."
