United States Senate elections in Ohio occur when voters in the
U.S. state of
Ohio select an individual to represent the state in the
United States Senate in either of the state's two seats allotted by the
Constitution. Regularly scheduled
general elections occur on
Election Day, coinciding with various other federal, statewide, and local races.
Each state is allotted two U.S. Senators elected to staggered six-year terms, which were originally selected by the
state legislature. The Senate is divided into
three classes to stagger the terms of its members such that one-third of the Senate would be up for re-election every two years. Upon Ohio's
admission to the Union in 1803, the state was assigned a Class 1 seat and a Class 3 seat, first elected in
1803. Since the passage of the
Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, U.S. Senators are
elected directly by the voters of each state.
Special elections may be held to fill mid-term vacancies to elect an individual to serve the remainder of the unexpired term.
The list below contains results from all U.S. Senate elections held in Ohio after the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment, sorted by year. The next scheduled election for the Class 1 seat is in
2024, while the Class 3 seat will hold its next election in
2028.
