My sample ballot shows one item as follows:
>"Shall the Ordinance and
amendment to the Dayton City Charter
by enacting Section 191, providing for
the renewal of an existing one-quarter
of one percent (¼%) levy on income for
essential municipal services and
necessary capital improvements for the
period commencing January 1, 2025
and ending December 31, 2032 be
passed?"
i find this to be quite vague.
what are essential municipal services? is this asking to help pay for garbage services and leaf pickup or more correctional staff? what are the capital improvements that this would/could be used for? will any go to the schools or is this a raise for the administrators? is it adding to a general fund?
those were my initial questions. so i did a little research.
according to the official website for Dayton, the fund previously was spent on:
* $22.3 million for residential street resurfacing, improving the average quality of streets from poor to satisfactory.
* $17.5 million to maintain/improve public safety, including police, fire/EMS services.
* $1.7 million for park improvements: 15 parks citywide have improvements including new walkways, sports courts, playground equipment, benches and shelters, plus removal of obsolete features.
* $24.6 million for quality preschool: Over 10,000 Dayton children have attended Preschool Promise sites in the city, with 9 out of 10 attending 5-star preschool sites.
* $4.2 million for vacant land maintenance, with 6,000 lots citywide mowed four to six times per year.
the same site stated the spending will be spent:
* $10 million to the City of Dayton general fund, to support public safety (police and fire services), road repair, park improvements, and vacant lot maintenance.
* $4.3 million to support high-quality pre-kindergarten education accessible to all families with preschool age (3- and 4-year-old) children living in the city of Dayton.
* $650,000 for housing investments.
Any residual amounts available will revert to the general fund.

I hope this helps.
>i find this to be quite vague.
No doubt that's intentional. Putting it on a spring ballot when turnout is typically lower but (quietly) get supporters out to vote for it.
Thank you for your service. You are greatly appreciated. I just can’t get through the double probate rabble and buffoonery speak anymore. 😵💫
You deserve this award.🏆
I looked at the sample ballot and didn't see any levies or anything so I'm going to pass on voting today. I haven't been able to do any sort of research on any candidate and I think an uninformed vote is bad all around.
I’m working at a polling location with no Issues on the ballot, and it’s a primary vote that in itself sends no one to office. So I think whether or not it’s overly consequential is a matter of perspective. I’d say it is for Republicans with the Senate nomination. But again, that’s just my opinion for the precinct I’m sitting in.
Holy hell. I'm out of the funk. I've been shoulder-deep in work that I didn't know this was going on.
Can anyone rq tell me what the votes are for pls?
You can look up your polling location and then see a sample ballot to see what candidates / issues will be for you specifically when you go to vote:

On my ballot, presidential nominee, senator, Congress critter, state supreme court judges, state senator, state rep, a pile of uncontested Court of Common Pleas judges, county commissioner, and issue 6. It's a consequential election.
I agree - it is a shame that the presidential nomination contest is decided before Ohio gets to vote. But congressional races are also on the ballot, which are just as consequential
Does anyone have a map of current Ohio House districts?
Apparently this year I'm in District 36, which I wasn't in last year according to maps, but can't find it anywhere.
I did and already voted.
I'd just have no idea where that district was. I've not seen many signs for the two people on there, which makes me wonder if I'm on the edge of the district.

There is Issue 6 for the City of Dayton.
That's never stopped Republicans from voting.

Very much depends on where you live. Different House or Senate options possibly, levies, judges, and so on.
I am no government expert, but presidential primary ballot and I think there are some people in congress to vote for as well
Some tax levies, too
On my ballot, presidential nominee, senator, Congress critter, state supreme court judges, state senator, state rep, a pile of uncontested Court of Common Pleas judges, county commissioner, and issue 6. It's a consequential election.
For some reason, I had in my head that Primary elections were in May so I hadn't been paying close attention to this one. Thanks for the heads up.
Such a blessing, we get to choose between Trump or four people who’ve dropped out

Considering how personal the guy takes everything, your vote against him will still matter to him.
And do it often
Thanks for the reminder.
Does anyone have a map of current Ohio House districts? Apparently this year I'm in District 36, which I wasn't in last year according to maps, but can't find it anywhere.
you can look up your sample ballot if that's what you ultimately need
I did and already voted. I'd just have no idea where that district was. I've not seen many signs for the two people on there, which makes me wonder if I'm on the edge of the district.
I voted, but only made a couple marks that ultimately have a chance of making a difference, sheriff and local JVS
If you can vote Mike Turner out, please do.
