Political Parties

Political parties allow individual citizens to work with other citizens with similar ideas to influence the policies and conduct of government.

 

Parties choose candidates to run for office in the general election. They work for the nomination and election of their candidates. They form the party platform or position on issues, carry out party policies and educate citizens in civic and political matters.

 

If you declare a party preference at a primary election in Ohio, you will be considered a member of that political party.
