根据俄亥俄州州务卿办公室的数据，俄亥俄州的现场提前投票人数几乎是2022年中期选举同期的四倍。
Ohio’s early in-person voting has drawn nearly four times as many voters as it did at the same point in the 2022 midterm elections, according to data from the Ohio secretary of state’s office.
截至提前投票第五天，大约有19.5万名俄亥俄州选民进行了现场提前投票，而2022年同期仅有5万多人。这一增长发生在俄亥俄州的美国参议院和州长选举吸引全国关注、政治广告投入达数亿美元的背景下，尽管仅凭提前投票数据尚无法确定促使更多俄亥俄州选民如此早前往投票站的具体原因。
Roughly 195,000 Ohioans have cast early in-person ballots on the fifth day of early voting, compared with just over 50,000 at the same point in 2022 The increase comes as Ohio’s U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races attract national attention and hundreds of millions of dollars in political advertising, although the early numbers alone do not establish what is driving more Ohioans to the polls this early.
今年的参议院竞赛由前民主党参议员谢罗德·布朗对阵共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特，MS NOW将此竞赛评为“摇摆不定”。该选举的结果将有助于决定哪个党在明年1月掌控上议院。
This year’s Senate race pits former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown against Republican Sen. Jon Husted in a competition that MS NOW has rated a “toss-up.”The outcome of the race will help determine which party controls the upper chamber come January.
民主党候选人艾米·阿克顿正与共和党候选人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米展开备受关注的州长竞赛。

在2022年，共和党州长迈克·德怀恩寻求连任，而JD·万斯则与前众议员蒂姆·瑞安竞争即将退休的参议员罗布·波特曼留下的空缺席位。

今年的中期选举支出显著高于2022年同期。截至2025年10月13日，自2025年1月起，候选人及外部团体在电视和数字广告上的支出已超过5.77亿美元——比2022年同期多出近3.53亿美元，这一数据来自AdImpact。
This year’s midterm race is significantly more expensive than its 2022 counterpart. Candidates and outside groups have spent more than $577 million on TV and digital s since January 2025 as of Oct. 13 — almost $353 million more than they had at the same point in 2022, according to AdImpact.
民主党方面的支出相比2022年同期几乎增长了四倍，增加近2亿美元，达到约2.7亿美元。共和党方面的支出在两次选举之间增加了超过3.12亿美元，达到4.65亿美元。
Democratic spending has nearly quadrupled compared to the same point in 2022, increasing by almost $200 million to reach roughly $270 million. Republican spending has risen by over $312 million between the two races to reach $465 million.
尽管现场提前投票人数较2022年有所增加，但俄亥俄州州务卿办公室表示，今年申请邮寄选票的人数有所下降。截至目前，约有63.1万人申请了邮寄选票，而2022年同期约有87.1万人提出申请。
While early in-person voting numbers are up compared with 2022, Ohioan’s requests for mail-in ballots are down, according to the Ohio secretary of state’s office. Roughly 631,000 people have requested mail-in ballots this year, compared with roughly 871,000 people who had requested them at the same point in 2022.
总统唐纳德·特朗普在其第二个任期内将重点放在邮寄投票上，于3月下旬签署了一项行政命令，试图在中期选举前限制这种投票方式，因为他认为邮寄投票“高度不准确”且“固有腐败”。来自两党的州务卿对特朗普总统对邮寄投票的描述提出了异议。最高法院在9月中旬阻止了该行政命令，但政府与法院之间的来回博弈可能正在促使选民改变他们通常的投票方式。
President Donald Trump has honed in on mail-in voting during his second term,g an executive order in late March attempting to restrict that form of voting ahead of the midterms because they are “highly inaccurate” and “inherently corrupt.”Secretaries of state from both parties have disputed the president’s characterization of mail-in voting. The Supreme Court blocked his executive order in mid-September but the back and forth between the administration and courts could be pushing voters to change their usual voting methods.
汉密尔顿县（辛辛那提所在地）正在遵循这一趋势，该县选举委员会主任谢里·波兰德表示。她称，截至周二晚上，已有近14,600名选民提前亲自到场投票，而2022年同期约为4,500人，2018年中期选举期间俄亥俄州同期仅有1,930人。
Hamilton County, which is home to Cincinnati, is following that trend, said Sherry Poland, the director of the county’s board of elections. Almost 14,600 voters had cast their ballot early in-person as of Tuesday night, compared with roughly 4,500 voters at the same time in 2022 and 1,930 Ohioans during the 2018 midterms, she said.
“我不知道是否是某一特定竞赛在推动这一点，”波兰德谈到本县提前投票增加时说。“尽管我们看到提前亲自投票出现了巨大增长，但邮寄投票却在下降。我没有水晶球，但我不知道我们是否正在看到历史性的投票率。”
“I don’t know that it’s one particular race that’s driving it,” Poland said of the uptick in early voting in her county. “Even though we are seeing this tremendous increase of early, in-person voting, voting is down by mail. I don’t have a crystal ball, but I don’t know if we’re looking at historic turnout.”
