Election Day 2017 is here.

Voters in Kent headed out to the polls this morning to cast their votes on various Issues with Issue 2 and Issue 8 being the most controversial. 

Voting started at 6:30 a.m. and will be open until 7:30 p.m.

Various locations will be open for voting all day and the process is expected to run more smoothly this year. Portage County will no longer be using punch cards for ballots. Instead, there will be touch screen systems.
