LaRose Highlights Important Dates and Deadlines for the Upcoming Special Election in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District

Governor DeWine Selects August 3rd for Special 15th District Congressional Primary Election

COLUMBUS – Following Governor Mike DeWine’s declaration of an August 3rd, 2021 special primary election for Ohio’s 15th congressional district, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose highlighted important details and deadlines concerning the election.

Last week, Congressman Steve Stivers announced he will be leaving the U.S. House of Representatives effective May 16, 2021, creating a vacancy in Ohio’s 15th congressional district upon his departure. To fill the seat, today the governor utilized his authority to set the time and place for the special congressional election through a Writ of Election. The OH-15 special congressional primary election will take place on the same day as the special primary for Ohio’s 11th congressional district, set by Gov. DeWine in March.

“The election schedule set forth by Governor DeWine generally aligns with the special election timeline for the 11th district, and our bipartisan election officials will be well-prepared to ensure an orderly, professionally executed special primary election,” said LaRose. “Naturally, the Secretary of State’s office stands ready to assist voters, candidates, and public officials with any questions or concerns they may have over the coming months, and as a constituent of the 15th district, I look forward to participating in the democratic process to elect my next representative to the United States Congress.”

In 1866, White Democrats and police attacked freedmen and their white allies in Memphis, Tennessee. Forty-six Blacks and two white liberals were killed. More than seventy were wounded. Ninety homes, twelve schools and four churches were burned.

In 1867, Reconstruction of the South began with the registering of Black and white voters in the South. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan ordered registration to begin in Louisiana on May 1 and to continue until June 30. Registration began in Arkansas in May. Other states followed in June and July. By the end of October, 1,363,000 citizens had registered in the South, including 700,000 Blacks. Black voters constituted a majority in five states: Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina.
