What did candidates report?
Compare 16 Ohio committee cards and four processed FEC Senate cards. One state card is explicitly unavailable, not zero.
When and how do I vote?
Review registration, early in-person voting, absentee request and return, photo identification, provisional-ballot cure, and Election Day rules.
How to read the money: Ohio state cards use one complete Post-Primary cover-page record per exact active committee, with activity through June 5. The later monthly reports disclose contributions only and are not complete replacement reports. Federal cards use processed FEC candidate summaries through June 30. Records can be amended or added.
