2026 as-of

The file was generated 2026-11-10 02:02 UTC (Nov 9, 2026, 9:02 pm ET). The unofficial canvass showed 8,834 of 8,834 election-day precincts reporting, 3,779 outstanding UOCAVA absentee ballots and 98,369 outstanding provisional ballots. Those ballots are not included.

Classification

A candidate labeled "(D)" counts as D, and "(R)" counts as R.
Everything else counts as other: Libertarian "(L)" candidates, write-ins "(WI)", and candidates with no party label. In 2026 those unlabeled candidates are Tracey L. Tackett in CD4 and Sandeep Dixit in CD13.
Over and under votes are not included.

Validation (sum of county columns vs. established statewide totals)

	D	R	Other
2022 this file	1,790,614	2,318,993	104
2022 FEC certified	1,790,614	2,318,993	104
2026 this file	2,318,450	2,178,153	53,928
2026 reference (Nov 9 6:10pm ET)	2,318,450	2,178,153	n/a

All columns match exactly. The 2022 other votes (104) are all write-ins: CD3 18, CD7 86.

Districts with no D or no R candidate

2022: none. All 15 districts had both a D and an R.
2026: none. All 15 districts had both a D and an R.

Caveats

2026 counts are unofficial and will change as provisional and UOCAVA ballots are counted and the official canvass is completed.
The SOS notes that write-in results are not available on election night. Write-in counts in o26 may therefore be incomplete. o26 does include the Libertarian and unaffiliated candidates.
Congressional maps: Ohio redrew its congressional plan for 2026. The redistricting commission adopted it in Oct 2025; this is from general knowledge and was not verified from SOS files here. District lines and candidates therefore differ between 2022 and 2026. County totals are still comparable as countywide sums.

These notes record where each number came from and how it was checked. 2026 figures are unofficial. See the methodology and disclaimer.
