How is the lieutenant governor of Ohio chosen?

In Ohio, the lieutenant governor is elected alongside the governor on a unified ticket in the state's gubernatorial elections. The elections are held every four years, coinciding with the U.S. presidential elections. The candidates for governor and lieutenant governor run as a team and are both elected (or defeated) together.

The lieutenant governor is the president of the Ohio Senate and serves as the acting governor in the absence of the governor due to any reason, such as death, resignation, impeachment, or temporary incapacity. The lieutenant governor also has the power to preside over joint sessions of the Ohio General Assembly.

To be eligible to run for lieutenant governor of Ohio, an individual must be a citizen of the United States, a qualified voter in Ohio, and at least 30 years old. They must also have resided in Ohio for at least five years.
