Current Candidates and Issues
What's on the ballot?
Each election, Ohio's voters decide the fate of candidates and issues on their ballot. However, voters around the state will use different ballots because of differing congressional and local candidates and issues.
The Secretary of State's office maintains lists of all federal, statewide, General Assembly and county candidates, as well as all local issues. However, this office does not maintain records or results of local candidates. For a complete list of what candidates and issues will appear on your local ballot, please consult your local county board of elections.
In 2010, Ohioans will elect all state executives and a United States senator, as well as all state and federal representatives, and all state senators in odd-numbered districts. Ohio voters also will elect three supreme court justices – including Chief Justice, some members of the state board of education, many judges of various appellate, common pleas, and county courts, as well as county officials.
Primary Election: May 4, 2010
