The only statewide vote was Issue 2, with Ohioans deciding whether the state should continue investing public money on local-level road, bridge, water and sewer infrastructure projects, as it has for decades.
In some communities Issue 2 was the only thing on the ballot.
But there were also school levy votes sprinkled all across the Miami Valley. Huber Heights and Northmont, Clark-Shawnee and Tecumseh, Edgewood and Madison were all asking voters to approve day-to-day school operating funds. Elsewhere, Beavercreek, Oakwood, Mad River and Greenon schools were seeking tax money for new or renovated facilities.
There were very few candidate races, but in Dayton and Troy, voters were deciding on city commission or council races. And other areas had police, fire or library tax levies up for voter approval.
