The Super Tuesday polls have closed in Ohio and the unofficial results have been tallied for Hocking, Pickaway, Washington, Jackson and Pike counties.
Sunday alcohol sales were a key issue on the Hocking County ballot. Hocking County citizens voted 136-79 in favor of allowing Hocking Hills Winery to sell alcohol from 11 a.m. to midnight on Sundays.
Pickaway County citizens voted to renew a .75 mil five-year levy to provide funds and services for senior citizens. The levy passed 10,410-3,921.
Voters in Washington County also voted 907-316 to renew the 1.5 mil 5-year levy to fund the Muskingum Township Fire and EMS.
Jackson County citizens voted 1,058-467 in favor of a 1.5 mil renewal levy to provide funding for the City of Jackson cemetery.
Editor’s Note: A previous version of this story incorrectly listed the Pike County Court of Common Pleas race as a contested race along with Brandon K. Wooldridge. Incumbent Judge Randy Deering ran unopposed in the primary. Brandon K. Wooldridge was uncontested in the primary for County Clerk of Courts.
