Ohio patriots - Vote for your gun rights on or before May 5

Buckeye Firearms Association (BFA) urges its members, as well as all Ohio residents, to vote in favor of gun rights in the May 5 midterm primary elections.

Early and absentee voting has already begun.

On Election Day, you must cast your ballot in your precinct at your designated polling place between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., according to the Ohio Secretary of State's Office VoteOhio.gov website. If you do not know where your designated precinct or polling place is located, contact your county board of elections or check this interactive directory to search for your polling place online.

Remember that Ohio law requires voters to present a valid, unexpired photo ID that includes their name and photograph, according to the site. Examples of acceptable IDs include Ohio driver licenses, state of Ohio ID cards, U.S. passports, and military IDs.

Winners in the primary election will advance to the November ballot. Terms essentially take effect at the start of 2027, with state and federal House seats up for election every two years, state Senate seats up every four years staggered, and federal Senate seats up every six years. The goveror serves a four-year term, as do the state attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer, and auditor.

BFA has put together its 2026 BFA-PAC Grades and Endorsements for the Ohio Primary, including Vivek Ramaswamy and Rob McColley in the 2026 Ohio gubernatorial race, and strongly urges voters elect pro-gun candidates on or before May 5.
