{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}
There are 136 pledged delegates at stake in Ohio when the crucial midwestern general election battleground state holds Democratic presidential primary elections on Tuesday, along Florida, Illinois and Arizona.
Ohio allows for open primaries, meaning a voter doesn’t have to register with a particular political party to vote in its primary. Voters select the ballot of the party whose primary they wish to vote in when they arrive at the polling location. Ohio does allow early voting.
