Ohio Midterm Turnout Reaches 58.1%, the Highest Since 1990, With 4.66 Million Ballots Cast
Figures released November 9 by the Ohio Secretary of State’s office show turnout in last week’s midterm elections reached at least 58.1 percent, the highest for a midterm since 1990. About 4.66 million Ohio voters took part in the 2026 midterms, with an unofficial total of 4,658,250 ballots — above the 55.7 percent turnout of the 2018 midterms. The 61.2 percent turnout of the 1990 midterms remains the state record. Secretary of State Frank LaRose said on social media that the record proves the election process is secure and convenient. Early voting also set a record: more than 1.7 million Ohio voters had voted early by November 1, a new midterm high. Counting and certification following the high turnout are still under way.
