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.
