You may also see the following tax levies depending on where you live:
- Issue 2: the Maumee City School district

As of 5 p.m., officials with the Lucas County Board of Elections said voter turnout so far was 27,643. That's 9.1 percent of registered voters.
This number does not include early vote totals or absentees. Those numbers will be added after the polls close.
The Lucas County Board of Elections says numbers are up in this primary due to the governor's race in Ohio.
Four years ago, incumbent John Kasich was the favorite. Now that he is termed out, the Democratic Party is aiming to take the top seat in Ohio.
While the Democrats have four people running in the primary, the Republicans have a smaller field. Current Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is the favorite.
