What's on the ballot?
Cincinnati
Cincinnati voters have a crowded mayoral field and three big issues to vote on Tuesday.
Cincinnati Mayoral Primary (Top two candidates advance)

- David Mann
- Herman Najoli
- Raffel Prophett

Ballot issues
Issue 1 and Issue 2
Both issues are a response to the recent corruption scandals that have rocked Cincinnati City Council. Issue 1 would require the city to appoint a special prosecutor in cases where the state removes a council member from office. It would also put further restrictions on how a council member charged with a felony appoints someone to choose a successor. Issue 2 would allow Cincinnati City Council to suspend a colleague who has been indicted – but not yet convicted – for a felony that relates to council duties.
Issue 3
Issue 3 would require Cincinnati City Council to spend $50 million a year on affordable or low-income housing.
