OHIO (WJW) – Ohio voters will head back to the polls on Tuesday, Aug. 2. This is just three months after the May primary election.

The special second primary election will cost taxpayers between $20 million and $25 million. Since district lines weren’t ready when the spring primary rolled around, the primary vote for state representatives and state senators had to be postponed.

Voters will decide on Ohio Senate races, Ohio House of Representatives and some local issues.
