Ohio

Polls close at 8:00 PM Eastern Time.

Infrastructure Ballot Measure

Ohio Issue 2 is a proposed amendment to the State Constitution. It would allow the state government to issue up to $2.5 billion in general obligation bonds to assist local governments in paying for public infrastructure projects. No more than $250 million of these bonds can be issued in any one year.

This amendment has been approved by voters multiple times since 1987. However, the sunset of the 2014 measure brings it back to the ballot this year.

A 'yes' vote supports the amendment.

Mayoral Primaries

Two Ohio cities that are part of the nation's 100 most populous cities will hold nonpartisan primaries for mayor. The top two finishers in each primary advance to the November general election. 

Population rankings are based on July 1, 2023 Census Bureau population estimates. They are for the city itself, not the associated metropolitan area.

These contests are officially nonpartisan. However, we include party affiliations where known.

Polls close at 8:00 PM Eastern Time.  

Cincinnati

Mayor Aftab Pureval (D) is seeking a second four-year term. He has drawn two Republican primary challengers. Cory Bowman is a pastor and small businessman. He is also the half-brother of Vice President JD Vance. Brian Frank is a Navy veteran who also worked for a number of corporations.

Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz (D) is eligible to run for a third consecutive term after voters passed a change to the city charter last November. He faces two independents in the primary. Harold Harris is an Air Force Veteran, while Roberto Torres is a Marine Veteran who also served on the Toledo School Board.

New Hampshire

At 400 members, the New Hampshire House is the largest in the country. There are currently 221 Republicans and 177 Democrats, along with one independent. Members serve two-year terms; the next scheduled elections are in 2026.

District Strafford 12

The one vacancy is in District Strafford 12. This multi-member district has four seats, all of which were won by Democrats in 2024. Democrat Dawn Evans - who finished first - moved out of the area and did not assume office.

Two Republicans are vying for the nomination. The winner will meet the Democratic nominee, Billie Butler, in the June 24 special general election.
