Polls are now open and will remain open until 7:30 p.m.

Voters will be deciding on several local issues, from the Mayor to the city council, and levies for different initiatives.

Dayton residents will be voting in the city’s Mayoral race, featuring incumbent Jeffrey Mims and challenger Shanice Turner-Sloss.

Dayton residents will also be voting on who will fill Shenise Turner-Sloss and Darryl Fairchild’s current seats on the city commission.

The candidates for that race are Darius Beckham, Jacob Davis, Darryl Fairchild, and Karen Wick.

Voters will also decide on two significant financial proposals: a sales tax increase intended to help fund a new jail in Clark County, and a new tax levy plan designed to provide seed money for a new hospital in West Dayton.

Voters will want to make sure they bring their driver’s license, state ID, military ID, or passport.

Utility bills or bank statements are no longer accepted.
