2026 General Election Voter Guide

2026 General Election Voter Guide

ohio voted sticker

Election season brings no shortage of information. Between campaign advertisements, mailers, social media, news coverage, and conversations with friends and neighbors, voters are surrounded by messages competing for their attention. In the middle of all that noise, taking the time to be an informed voter matters.

This November, Ohioans will make decisions that reach from the Governor’s Office and other statewide offices to the Ohio Supreme Court, Congress, the Statehouse, and local government. Voters will also consider state and local ballot issues, including tax questions that can directly impact our communities and the services residents and businesses rely upon.

The Clermont County Chamber of Commerce believes strong communities benefit from an informed and engaged electorate. This Voter Guide is intended to serve as a resource as you consider the candidates and issues appearing on the ballot and do your own research before Election Day.

As a non-partisan organization, the Chamber provides this guide strictly for informational purposes. We do not endorse candidates or political parties, nor do we seek to tell voters how to cast their ballots. Our goal is to encourage participation and help voters approach the ballot informed and prepared.

Voting is important. Knowing what—and who—you are voting for is just as important.

I hope you will take time to review this guide and make your voice heard on November 3.

Andrew McAfee
Vice President
Clermont Chamber of Commerce
