Ohio’s Sunshine Laws include the Open Meetings Act and the Public Records Act, which help keep government transparent.
Most meetings of public bodies must be open to the public, and many government records are available on request. Some exceptions apply under the law.
Pin Tip
The Ohio Attorney General publishes a guide to the Sunshine Laws.
Check Official Sources
Election rules, dates, and deadlines can change. For current, accurate information, check the Ohio Secretary of State website, your county board of elections, or the official website of the government body involved.
Stay Engaged Respectfully
Civic life works best when people listen, ask questions, and share views respectfully. Look at multiple sources, separate facts from opinions, and focus on issues rather than personal attacks.
Quick Reminder
Mark important election dates on your calendar once they are announced by official election offices.
