A portion of Licking County also voted on the LinkUS COTA tax levy, which would expand transit and access to sidewalks and bikeways.
If passed, the $8 billion levy would increase the local sales tax in Columbus from 7.5% to 8%, increasing COTA's overall share from 0.5% to 1%. That money will generate public funding for the LinkUS initiative. Officials say this would increase COTA services by 45%.
Here are election results for some of the top races in Licking County.

Across the state, Ohioans cast their ballots for president of the United States of America – choosing between Vice President Kamala Harris (Democratic Party) and former President Donald Trump (Republican Party).
Trump and Harris have been traveling across the country campaigning for the last few months in an attempt to gain support and win the presidential vote.
In Harris’ campaign, she has taken the approach of exciting and organizing the diverse Democratic base, especially younger generations, nonwhite voters and women, while convincing moderate Republicans who dislike Trump that they should be comfortable with her in the Oval Office, some policy disagreements notwithstanding. That’s the same formula Biden used in defeating Trump four years ago, flipping traditionally GOP-leaning states like Arizona and Georgia and narrowing the gap in North Carolina.
Trump, meanwhile, appears to bet that his path back to the White House depends mostly on his core supporters, plus enough new support from working- and middle-class voters drawn to his promises of tax breaks.
Statewide races include a vote to decide who will represent the Buckeye State as a U.S. senator. Incumbent Sherrod Brown (Democrat) is running for re-election. His opponent is Cleveland businessman Bernie Moreno (Republican). There's also Ohio Issue 1, an initiative seeking to establish the Ohio Citizens Redistricting Commission.
