COLUMBUS, Ohio—Today, AARP Ohio released a 2024 statewide election survey, revealing that candidates for president, U.S. Senate, and state races should pay close attention to Ohioans ages 50 and older. Ohio residents ages 50 and older make up an outsized portion of the electorate: in the 2020 elections, older voters accounted for 56% of all Ohio voters and in the 2022 mid-terms, they made up 65% of the state’s voters. Eighty-nine percent of voters ages 50 and older say they are “extremely motivated” to cast a ballot in November, with 76% of voters ages 18-49 saying the same.
