Live Updating Ohio 2026 Primary Election Results for Governor, U.S. Senate and More

Voters also weighed levies for fire, police, schools and libraries, including measures that could raise millions for local services.

  • On Tuesday, Ohio voters participated in the state's primary election, finalizing party nominations for statewide offices including governor, U.S. Senate, and attorney general, alongside local tax levies.
  • With Republican Gov. Mike DeWine term-limited at the end of 2026, voters will elect a new governor in November. Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy clinched the Republican nomination, while Democrat Amy Acton ran unopposed.
  • In the U.S. Senate race, former Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown defeated Ron Kincaid in the primary, securing the Democratic nomination to challenge incumbent Republican Sen. Jon Husted, who ran unopposed.
  • The Senate Leadership Fund, a prominent GOP super PAC, has pledged $79 million to support Husted's reelection effort, while Brown's campaign has already raised $17 million this month.
  • Local ballot measures also drew voter attention, including the Pickerington Local School District's 1.25% traditional income tax initiative, which would generate approximately $32.8 million annually for district operations.
