We made a Voter Guide for Young Ohioans.

Ohio students deserve understandable, accurate, and clear information about the candidates on our ballot. We want you to have a trusted source of info about where candidates stand on the issues that young people care about. We’ve got our own opinions (that’s for sure!) but we want you to have accurate info to make your own decisions on November 5.

A team of Ohio students did the research on the cast of characters in the 2024 election so you don’t have to. Here, you’ll find a student researched, written, edited, and designed voter guide from the perspective of fellow young people driven by our interests—not by boomers, corporate interests, major parties, or the media.

At Ohio Student Action, we know voting won’t just magically fix all of the problems we’re facing right now (and that’s why we organize our communities on campuses across Ohio year-round!). This November, the stakes are high, and we know our votes have the potential to make a big difference in Ohio that our communities are counting on.
