How To Evaluate Judicial Candidates
Judicial elections are different from executive and legislative races, and that makes it necessary to take a different approach when we evaluate judicial candidates.
What's At Stake?
In 2024, Ohio voters will elect judges to serve on courts at all levels, including:
- The Ohio Supreme Court
- Common Pleas Courts
- Juvenile Courts
- Domestic Relations Courts
- Probate Courts
- Courts of Appeals
- County Courts
Every county will vote for judges on courts that operate at the statewide level, like courts of appeals and the Ohio Supreme Court. Other courts operate at the local level and those elections will vary by county. Visit "Find You Candidates" in the menu above to see the judicial candidates who will appear on your ballot this year.
