Dispatch Politics

On May 5, central Ohio voters will decide on many local ballot issues, such as school levies, that are important in their communities. They'll also vote in a few City Council primary elections.

The Dispatch is presenting its Voters Guide on the Web because early voting has begun. The printed Voters Guide appeared in the Insight section on April 19.

Polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Election Day.
