Each year (basically), we publish the League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area’s “Voter Guide.”
This 2020 guide breaks down how to vote in Ohio, as well as provides information about federal, state and local candidates and local ballot issues.
The guide breaks down the education, work experience, affiliations and endorsements of the candidates and provides their answers to a handful of questions.
The League of Women Voters does not endorse or reject anyone; the guide only provides information for you to make your own decisions.
Here’s the basics:
The information for the Hamilton County candidates is solicited and compiled by the League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area (LWVCA). LWVCA uses the following criteria: The questions selected by LWVCA were advertised to the candidates, who were informed that each response would be printed as received and that all candidates would be solely responsible for the content of their replies. Because of the nonpartisan nature of the guide, candidates were informed that any reference to other candidates is prohibited. Because of space limitations, candidates were informed of the word limit requirements and were advised that any reply over the word limit would be cut off at the correct number.
In making this information available to the public, the LWVCA neither endorses nor rejects the views of any candidate or political party. The League does not and cannot assume responsibility for any candidate’s reply, or for the candidate’s motive in making it.
The summaries and background for the Hamilton County and City of Cincinnati ballot issues were prepared by the League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area volunteers. Descriptions of other ballot issues come from the Hamilton County Board of Elections.
The information in this guide is current as of September 7, 2020. LWVCA’s online voter guide VOTE411.org includes additional candidate information not included in this guide as well as any updates candidates may have made to their profile information after our publication deadline as stated above.

They have also created this very handy voter sheet and checklist so you can mark which candidate you want to vote for:
