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 district 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 2012, Ohioans will participate in the U.S. Presidential election, as well as elections for local leaders and issues. One U.S. Senator, all U.S. Representatives, Ohio Representatives, many members of the Ohio Senate, state and local judges, as well as county officers will also be on the ballot.
