Early voting for Ohio’s 2026 general election began with brisk turnout in Franklin County and voters lining up before dawn in parts of the state, according to reports from 10TV and Reuters. FOX 8 News reported that early-voting numbers in its local area were up 250%, while Cleveland.com described a dramatic shift in voting patterns statewide.

CNN reported that initial figures suggested Democratic gains in some of Ohio’s counties that were most supportive of President Donald Trump. Ohio voters also have the option to cast ballots by mail.
