Local Elections November 2025 - Who won? Unofficial Results

The unofficial list of winners for the November 2025 General Election in Summit County, Ohio.

November 06, 2025

These results are exact copies of our previous “Who’s on your ballot?” guide, with annotations listing who won, PLUS which issues won!

This is the unofficial list of results.

There are some really close races that might be changed depending on provisional votes, absentee ballots arriving within the 4-day period after the election (the 4-day time period the Republicans are trying to eliminate in the statehouse right now), or recounts.

But mostly it’ll stay the same.
