GREENVILLE — Early in-person voting is under way in Darke County at 603 Wagner Ave. in Greenville, and the top local question on the Tuesday, Nov. 3 general election ballot is a renewal levy for the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services, which serves Darke, Miami and Shelby counties.
The issue asks voters to renew a 0.6-mill tax for five years, commencing in 2027 and first due in 2028. The renewal is estimated to raise $2,596,848 a year at a cost of about $10 per $100,000 of property value. The money funds counseling and supportive services, along with alcohol, drug addiction and mental health programs across the three-county district.
Darke County’s own offices drew little competition this cycle. Republican David J. Coons is the candidate for county commissioner, Republican Brian L. Holsapple for county auditor, and Republican Jason Aslinger for judge of the Court of Common Pleas, probate/juvenile division, for a full term commencing Feb. 9, 2027; no Democratic candidates filed valid petitions for those offices in the primary. The race for county coroner, an unexpired term ending Dec. 31, 2028, drew no valid petition at all.
In the 8th Congressional District, Republican Warren Davidson faces Democrat Vanessa Enoch. Darke County voters also have state representative races on their ballots, with the county split between the 80th and 84th House districts.
Statewide, Ohio voters will choose a governor — Republican Vivek Ramaswamy, Democrat Amy Acton or Libertarian Don Kissick — and decide a U.S. Senate race between Republican Jon Husted, Democrat Sherrod Brown and Libertarian William B. Redpath. Also on the ballot are attorney general (Keith Faber vs. John J. Kulewicz), auditor of state (Frank LaRose vs. Annette Blackwell), secretary of state (Robert Sprague vs. Allison Russo), treasurer (Jay Edwards vs. Seth Walsh), two Ohio Supreme Court seats, and State Issue 3, a proposed constitutional amendment that would require photo identification to vote.
Early in-person voting continues at 603 Wagner Ave. in Greenville — the board of elections office itself is at 300 Garst Ave. — from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays through Oct. 23, then expands: Saturday, Oct. 24 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Monday, Oct. 26 from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Tuesday, Oct. 27 from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Oct. 28–30 from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 31 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday, Nov. 1 from 1 to 5 p.m. Absentee ballot applications are due by 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 27, and voted absentee ballots must be received by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day.
