Ohio Releases Candidate List for May 2010 Primary
The Ohio Secretary of State has released a list of candidates who will be on the May ballot, in primaries for each of the six qualified parties. No statewide race will have more than four nominees in November, unless some independent candidates qualify (that deadline is in May), or unless some candidates are nominated by write-in votes at one of the primaries. The general election race for Governor/Lieutenant Governor will have nominees from the Democratic, Republican, Green, and Libertarian Parties. The U.S. Senate race will have nominees from the Democratic, Republican, Constitution, and Socialist Parties.
Here is the relevant directive with sample ballots:

A lot of people will be able to vote for only minor-party candidates in the general election. This is very exciting…
Libertarian has a complete slate for following:
Governor/ LT Gov
Secretary of State
Attorney General
Treasurer
Auditor
A LOT of work went into this.
Governor race does have 4 candidates
But the other 4 state offices have only 3 candidates
