Countywide, Morrow voters renewed the 0.5-mill Seniors on Center levy, 7,484 to 6,575, but rejected the Delaware-Morrow Mental Health and Recovery Services Board’s 1.5-mill renewal with a 0.5-mill increase in the Morrow County portion of that vote — 5,756 for to 8,289 against, according to the board’s unofficial report; Delaware Source reported the combined two-county levy passed on the strength of the Delaware County vote. Morrow voters in the Lexington school district also rejected both a 4.8-mill renewal (134-270) and a 0.75% income tax (75-329) in the district’s Morrow precincts, the board reported.
How Morrow County voted breaks down by method in the board’s report: 9,239 ballots were cast on Election Day, 3,672 in in-office early voting and 1,416 by mail absentee, with no provisional ballots in the unofficial total.
The figures above are the board’s unofficial election-night canvass. They remain unofficial until the board completes its official canvass and certifies its results.
All Ohio results remain unofficial until they are certified. Under Ohio Secretary of State Directive 2026-48, county boards of elections were to begin their official canvasses no earlier than Sunday, Nov. 8, and must complete the official canvass and certify their results by Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2026, after reviewing provisional ballots and any qualifying overseas and military ballots returned within the post-election window.
What happens next is the canvass in Mount Gilead: the Morrow County Board of Elections’ official count will confirm the winners who take office in January, and the county’s certified totals will go to the Secretary of State for the statewide certification.
