Today is Election Day, and polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. across Portage County.
Faith Lyon, director of the Portage County Board of Elections, said early voting turnout has been light, and she is projecting a 32 percent turnout for the election. She expects ballots to be counted by 10 p.m. today.
Early voting ended at 2 p.m. Monday. Those who have had absentee ballots mailed to them have until 7:30 p.m. today to hand-deliver them to the drop box in the Board of Elections parking lot of the county administration building, 449 S. Meridian St., Ravenna. Ballots returned by mail needed to be postmarked by Monday, May 3.
