Elect Equality in Ohio

Ohio Equal Rights believes Ohio voters should have clear, accessible information about where candidates stand on equal rights before heading to the ballot box. Building on the ERA Coalition’s Elect Equality campaign, Ohio Equal Rights is developing a statewide voter-information resource focused specifically on candidates for Ohio state and local offices. The resource will provide information about candidates’ positions on equal rights, nondiscrimination, marriage equality, and related issues affecting Ohioans. Last updated 9 Oct, 2026.

You can find additional voting information on Vote411 and VoteOhio.

​​

This guide is based on whether these candidates meet the ERA Coalition’s Elect Equality campaign's criteria. Nothing on this page is intended to constitute an endorsement of, opposition to, or support for any political candidate, political party, or political campaign.

Ohio state and local races

Ohio Equal Rights has finished developing our 2026 state candidate and elected information.

Candidates for state office will have the opportunity to provide information about their positions through the Ohio Equal Rights candidate questionnaire. As information becomes available, this page will help Ohio voters learn where candidates stand on issues related to equal rights under Ohio law.
