Ohio governor recommends delaying Tuesday's primary until June amid coronavirus pandemic

'The three other states set to vote on Tuesday -- Arizona, Florida and Illinois -- have said they are moving ahead with their planned elections.

Florida's Secretary of State said Sunday evening that each county's supervisor has been provided with guidance from the CDC and the state department of health to ensure they're keeping voters safe. They've also been provided with information on sanitizing voting machines.

And state officials from Illinois have been encouraging early voting in the face of the coronavirus, with the city of Chicago extending early voting hours through 7 p.m. CT on Monday and Governor J.B. Pritzker encouraging localities to expand early voting hours until Election Day.

The Arizona Secretary of State told counties on Saturday that the spread of the coronavirus qualifies as an "emergency" for emergency voting, meaning a voter with health issues/concerns about coronavirus can "emergency vote" in-person on Monday at various set locations in their county.'

The general election is part of the constitution. The primaries are not. n/t pampango Mar 2020 #22

But we got to have a candidate. LisaL Mar 2020 #24
