Voters at the Ohio Union were met with long lines on Election Day.
One voting precinct in Franklin County has a polling location inside the Union, which became a popular polling site for more than 3,000 Ohio State students and campus-area residents.
“This is the second election that we’ve had a voting location at the Union,” said Ben Piscitelli, spokesman for the Franklin County Board of Elections.
Piscitelli also said that while this is only the second year of having a voting location at the Union, there used to be a voting location at the previous Ohio Union.
The Union is located in precinct 41D, which encompasses the OSU residence halls and part of the surrounding community.
