§3Notes on the official list

• The Secretary of State's certified ballot documents for this election (Directive 2026-45 and its official sample ballot) are on ohiosos.gov behind an interactive security check that we could not pass, so we could not read them. The candidates here come from the Secretary of State's election-night results site, which is already set up for the November 3, 2026 general election (its banner says the vote totals shown come from practice runs). We checked them against ballots, candidate lists and notices from county boards of elections. Every candidate outside the 2nd District also appears in at least one county document, with the one name difference noted below.
• certified is false because the results site is not itself a certified list. Several county lists say their candidates are certified; for example, Lorain County's list says the statewide and U.S. Senate candidates were certified by the Secretary of State.
• The state results site shows party abbreviations only. Party labels are written the way Ohio ballots print them (Democratic, Republican, Libertarian, Other-party candidate, Nonparty candidate), as shown on county sample ballots and notices. For the 2nd District we found no county document, so its labels rest on the state site's D and R abbreviations.
• Tracey L. Tackett (4th District) is shown with no party on the state results site and in Union County's notice. We could not confirm whether the ballot prints a designation such as Nonparty candidate under the name. Union County's notice prints the name without the middle initial.
• Declared write-in candidates are left out, including Gary Josephson and Samuel Ronan (15th District), Thahbia Asad and Andrey Joseph Martinichin (7th), Kathy McKinstry (9th), three U.S. Senate write-ins and several write-in governor tickets. Franklin County's October 16 list does not flag Josephson as a write-in, but its 46-day notice for the federal write-in absentee ballot and the state results site both do.
• In the 1st District, Hamilton County's August 21 list shows the Libertarian nominee John Hancock, Jr. withdrew and Nathan Weise was certified to fill the vacancy; Warren County's October notice and the state results site list Weise.
