Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced that all 88 county election boards have completed the expedited canvass, marking the official results of Ohio’s 2024 general election. Prior to the certification deadline, the boards sent their final vote counts to the Ohio Secretary of State’s office. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office said, “With near-historic turnout, this presidential election was the smoothest Ohio has experienced in state history,” attributing the victory to the hard work of the bipartisan election authorities.
Because the tenth day for certification falls on a Saturday, the statewide results are anticipated to be formally confirmed on Monday, December 2. According to Ohio law, the Secretary of State must certify election results within ten days of county canvassing efforts. In order to accommodate all post-election events, particularly the 56th Electoral College of Ohio, which is set for December 17, LaRose accelerated this year’s procedure by releasing Directive 2024-22 in September, which required all boards to finish their formal canvass by yesterday.
Now that post-election procedures have begun, the Secretary of State has instructed boards to concentrate on auditing duties. The tabulated results will be compared against a hardcopy paper trail by a nonpartisan panel comprising representatives from both the Republican and Democratic parties to conduct audits. In order to guarantee Ohio’s elections are accurate and transparent without the delays observed in other states, Secretary LaRose requires this procedure to be carried out after each election.
The Lucas County Board of Elections, which controls the most populated county in the district, has announced the results of one of the more watched elections, Ohio’s Congressional District 9. Therefore, the results of the well-known congressional election have been certified; additional information may be found on the websites of the Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and the county’s Board of Elections.
