Tuesday is Election Day, and WOSU is following along as Ohio votes for several key races, including Ohio Governor, U.S. Senate and U.S. House races.

The Associated Press provides the real-time vote tallies. The AP does not make projections and declared a winner in both ballot measures only when it was determined no scenario would allow the trailing side to close the gap.

Polls closed around the state at 7:30 p.m., and the below tallies updated as soon as votes came in.
