Ohio Legislature Passes Bill to Consolidate Primary Elections
March 6, 2012 Date Selected as State’s Primary
The Ohio House and Senate have passed HB 369, a measure to consolidate the state’s two 2012 primaries into a single primary date, scheduled for March 6, 2012.
The state originally scheduled two primaries, a March 6, 2012 primary for county partisan offices, the state legislature, and the available U.S. Senate seat, and a June 12, 2012 primary for the President and U.S. House of Representatives, in order to give state lawmakers more time to settle differences concerning Ohio’s map for legislative redistricting.
The bill now moves to the desk of Governor John Kasich for his signature.
