The March 15 primary election will include Ohio Supreme Court, appeals court, and common pleas court races. In all, Ohio voters will determine more than 145 judicial seats this year.
The Judicial Votes Count website has been updated with candidate profiles.
Judicial Votes Count is a nonpartisan partnership launched before the general election in November 2015, to better educate Ohioans about judges and the Ohio court system, as well as to increase voter participation in judicial elections.
The website was created after a 2014 survey by the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron found that most of 1,067 registered Ohio said they don’t vote for judges because they don’t know enough about the candidates.
Judicial Votes Count partners are Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor, the Bliss Institute, the League of Women Voters of Ohio, the Ohio State Bar Association, the Ohio Newspaper Association, and the Ohio Association of Broadcasters.
