The coronavirus pandemic has thrown America’s electoral system into shock, prompting officials in six states so far to move presidential primaries
to June 2 in response to the coronavirus.
One election will still be held on April 28 in the state: The special election in Maryland’s 7th District to fill the seat of the late Rep. Elijah Cummings. That election will be mail-in only, and it could be an important test: Activists and some politicians are pushing for mail-in elections to beGov. Mike DeWine. | John Minchillo, File/AP Photo
But that doesn’t mean June 2 is set in stone. Ohio’s state legislature is set to meet starting on March 24 to take action on the primary, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported, with leaders noting that they have the power to set election details. "The legal authority to change the date rests with the Ohio General Assembly," House Speaker Larry Householder
“Our priority is ensuring that people are healthy and safe. Holding public events right now would put that in jeopardy, so this is the responsible course of action," the state party wrote in a statement. “Voters are highly encouraged to vote by mail; as of now, voters may still vote via ballot pickup and drop off on March 28 and April 4. We will continue to work with public health officials, and assess local conditions, to ensure voters’ health and safety.
