Will Norton keep its police department?
Will New Franklin's name be changed to Portage Lakes?
Who will be elected the mayor of Boston Heights, Green, Lakemore, Mogadore, Munroe Falls, Norton, Peninsula, Richfield, Silver Lake, Stow or Tallmadge?
Those questions and many others involving a myriad of local and county issues and candidates will be answered today as Ohio voters go to the polls.
The voting booths will remain open until 7:30 p.m.
In Norton, where the question of keeping the police department or replacing it with the Summit County Sheriff's Department is on the ballot, voting in at least one precinct — 2C at Grace Brethren Church on Cleveland-Massillon Road — was described by a poll worker as heavy.
Voter Maureen O'Kelly, 50, of Norton, a medical transcriptionist, said she voted to keep the Norton police department.
''They need to stay here,'' she said.
''I don't feel we would have the response time we need'' with the sheriff, she said.
Voter Tami Vaudrin, 39, of Norton, a home health aid, voted on the side of the sheriff's department taking over police duties for the city.
''It works in Green and Coventry,'' she said after casting her vote this morning at Grace Brethren.
Marijean Donofrio, deputy director of the Summit County Board of Elections, said this morning that it was too early to tell what turnout would be for the off-year election.
She said board troubleshooters had to replace 10 scanners at 10 voting locations early this morning, but that problem didn't slow down voting.
In Portage County, where voters in Streetsboro are deciding whether to raise the minimum age to be mayor to 23, elections board Director Lois Enlow said she didn't expect a heavy turnout.
''I wouldn't anticipate the numbers being very high today,'' she said.
At one location near the Kent State University campus, where many students are registered, there had been no voters at all for the first four hours of voting this morning, Enlow said.
''That is unusual,'' she said.
