VOTE TODAY

The polls are open for today’s primary from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Turnout is expected to be very low — about 25 percent in Mahoning County, 15 percent to 20 percent in Trumbull County, and 15 percent in Columbiana County.

About one-third of eligible voters can cast ballots in Mahoning County. There are only citywide races in Youngstown and Struthers. There’s an additional school levy in South Range and a new levy in Craig Beach.

About two-thirds of voters in Trumbull County can vote with the highlights being the race for mayor of Niles and a Lakeview school bond issue.

Columbiana County has a county sales-tax renewal issue on the ballot.
