About
Unique to Ohio County; Voter Registration and Elections are overseen by the Ohio County Commission Office rather than the County Clerk, which is the case for the rest of the state. Ohio County currently has approximately 28,000 registered voters and consists of 35 voting precincts divided among the 3rd, 4th and 5th Delegate Districts.
