What Congressional district do I live in?

After the 2020 Census, states redrew their Congressional maps for this year's election.

In Ohio, though maps are being disputed in court, a federal court ordered the state to proceed with a map that has been declared unconstitutional by Ohio's Supreme Court.

We expect to see the first results shortly after 7:30 p.m. Absentee ballots are the first votes counted, according to the Secretary of State's office.
