COLUMBUS, Ohio (Statehouse News Bureau) — Right now, Ohio voters do not have to declare a party when they register. And they can vote in Republican or Democratic primaries by simply asking for the ballot of the party primary they prefer at the time of voting. Voters can also switch back and forth between parties in different elections in different years. But some Republicans in Northeast Ohio want to close Ohio’s primaries. And Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose is indicating he is on board with the idea.
