Ohio townships are governed by a board of three elected trustees along with an elected fiscal officer.

Trustees oversee services such as township roads, cemeteries, and in many areas fire and police services. Township meetings are open to residents.

Pin Tip

Find your township’s meeting schedule on its website or at the township office.

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.
