Ohio primary election: Look for live updates all day, results tonight

Polls opened at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday as Ohioans are set to vote on a host of political primary races and ballot issues on everything from municipal taxes to school construction.

This blog will be updated throughout the day with any news from polling places on how the election is going and when results begin to roll out on Tuesday evening after polls close at 7:30 p.m.

The state's most closely watched primary is the Republican race for U.S. Senate and the chance to face Democrat Sherrod Brown in the fall. The Republicans are Matt Dolan; Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, whose office oversees the state's elections; and Bernie Moreno, who has the endorsement of former President Trump.

In Franklin County, the hottest race is the Democratic primary for prosecutor. The historic race has three Black attorneys vying for the nomination to replace current Prosecutor Gary Tyack, a Democrat who is retiring. They are: Delaware City Attorney Natalia Harris, who lives in Columbus; Columbus City Council member Shayla Favor, a former assistant city attorney; and Anthony Pierson, deputy chief counsel in Tyack's office who has Tyack's support.

The Democratic winner will face the lone Republican on the primary ballot, Columbus defense attorney John P.M. Rutan, in November.
