Being an off-year election, almost all races are local. The exception is the Ohio 15th Congressional District special election between Democratic State Rep. Allison Russo against Republican Mike Carey. This seat was formerly held by Steve Stivers. Part of the 15th Congressional District is in Clinton County.

The Cincinnati mayor's race is between Hamilton County Clerk of Courts Aftab Pureval and Cincinnati City Councilman David Mann. They are running to replace John Cranley, who is finishing his second term after being elected in 2013.

The Cincinnati City Council race had 43 potential candidates file in August. City council candidates are non-partisan, but some are endorsed. Every council seat is up for election this year and only one incumbent is running (Greg Landsman). This is the list of endorsed candidates:

• Charter Committee: Kevin Flynn, Jackie Frondorf, Bill Frost, Steve Goodin, Galen Gordon, Liz Keating, Jim Tarbell, John J. William
• Tom Brinkman Jr., Jeff Cramerding, Steve Goodin, Reggie Harris, Mark Jeffreys, Scotty Johnson, Jan-Michele Lemon Kearney, Liz Keating, Greg Landsman, Phillip O’Neal, Meeka Owens, Victoria Parks, Betsy Sundermann.

Hamilton County saw over 23,000 early votes. Board of Elections Director Sherry Poland says this year's ballot items are similar to 2017, when Hamilton County had 31% turnout.

"We're expecting a similar turnout. We hope for a higher turnout. We're prepared and ready if it is a little bit higher of a turnout," Poland said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s elections chief on Monday referred for possible prosecution 117 apparent noncitizens who either registered to vote or cast a ballot last year — a tiny fraction of the state’s electorate and a significantly reduced number from two years ago despite record 2020 turnout.

Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose said that of those, 13 cast ballots and 104 registered but did not vote. They were identified as part of a routine review and referred to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.

“The bottom line is this: Citizenship matters. It’s an important status that we should all treasure,” LaRose said at a Statehouse news conference. “With that, comes the ability to be a voter. We want all Ohioans who are eligible to be able to cast a ballot, but certainly that means only citizens are able to do so.”

Ohio has more than 8 million registered voters. Ohio does not allow noncitizens to register or vote.

LaRose made a similar referral of 277 individuals to Yost after the 2018 election, including 77 who cast a ballot. Only a handful were ever prosecuted, according to data from the Franklin County prosecutor’s office.

Ohio produced an extraordinary level of access in last year’s presidential election, setting records with nearly 6 million votes cast and a 74% turnout that tops the average of the past 20 years.

LaRose said citizenship could be checked at the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles under changes he is advocating to a sweeping election reform bill pending in the state Legislature.

He said he would like to see the bill adjusted to allow more access to drop boxes at county boards of elections, a position shared by the Ohio Association of Election Officials.
