Election-night update — Nov. 3, 2026, 8:19 p.m. ET returns

In Ohio’s 1st Congressional District, Greg Landsman had 80,179 votes (62.49%), Eric Conroy 45,680 (35.60%) and Nathan Weise 2,449 (1.91%), according to Associated Press results displayed by Fox News. The page’s reporting estimate was 36.41% in; this is an election-night estimate, not a certified percentage of every ballot cast.

The early-vote mix for the entire district was not available. Hamilton County’s separate 8:01 p.m. official report showed all 71,308 votes then reported in this race were early votes, with no Election Day votes yet reported there. Hamilton is only part of the district, so its mix cannot be applied to the districtwide totals. Results are unofficial and the lead may change as other votes arrive.

Pre-election background

Anderson Township voters cast ballots Tuesday, Nov. 3, in a closely watched U.S. House race in Ohio's redrawn 1st Congressional District.

Election results are pending. This article will be updated as election officials release vote totals.

The Hamilton County Board of Elections' certified list names Democratic incumbent Greg Landsman, Republican Eric Conroy and Libertarian Nathan Weise for the 1st District. Polls are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Eastern. Anyone in line by 7:30 p.m. has the right to vote, according to the Ohio Secretary of State.

Election-night returns will be unofficial. The Ohio Secretary of State's results site explains that results remain unofficial until state certification following review of county canvass reports. Eligible provisional and outstanding military and overseas ballots can be added during the canvass. Readers can follow the state site and the Hamilton County Board of Elections for returns.

What's at stake

The seat carries a two-year term beginning Jan. 3, 2027. Under the official boundaries adopted Oct. 31, 2025, the 1st District includes all of Warren and Clinton counties and parts of Hamilton County. Its Hamilton County communities include Anderson Township, Cincinnati, Norwood and Cleves. Voters should check their address-specific sample ballot to confirm their district.

The new boundaries changed the district's historical partisan balance. WLWT, citing Inside Elections' analysis, reported that former Vice President Kamala Harris won the old district by six percentage points in 2024, while applying the new boundaries to the 2024 presidential vote gave Donald Trump a three-point advantage. Those are historical election comparisons, not a 2026 voter survey.

Inside Elections moved the race from “Tilt Democratic” to “Lean Democratic” in its Oct. 31 assessment, Roll Call reported.

The candidates

Greg Landsman is the Democratic incumbent seeking a third term. The Mt. Washington resident first won the seat in 2022, defeating Steve Chabot. In 2024 he defeated Republican Orlando Sonza with 213,916 votes to 177,993, or about 54.6% to 45.4%, according to the House Clerk's official election statistics. In WVXU's Oct. 7 candidate survey, he advocated ending trade wars, addressing corporate price increases, protecting ratepayers from data-center costs and restoring health-care funding.

In the same survey, Landsman said he had helped secure $14.225 million for 14 local projects across Southwest Ohio.

Eric Conroy is the Republican nominee, a former CIA case officer and an Air Force veteran who grew up on Cincinnati's West Side, according to his campaign biography. He won the May 5 Republican primary with about 72% of the vote, according to NPR's AP results report. His campaign supports additional border-security funding and funding and training for law enforcement.

WVXU noted that Conroy did not respond to multiple requests to complete its candidate survey.

Nathan Weise is the Libertarian candidate. In his candidate-provided biography for the WVXU survey, he identified himself as Hamilton County Libertarian Party chair, a University of Cincinnati graduate and a holder of a Master of Public Administration degree from Grand Canyon University. His survey responses called for ending the war in Iran and eliminating tariffs.

How to vote

In-person voters generally must present an approved, unexpired photo ID. Accepted forms include an Ohio driver license or state ID, an interim Ohio BMV ID, a U.S. passport or passport card, and qualifying military or veterans identification. Voters without accepted ID may cast a provisional ballot and provide approved ID to their county board within four days after Election Day, by Nov. 7. Voters without photo ID because of a religious objection to being photographed may complete an affidavit at the polls or at the county board within that period, according to the Ohio Secretary of State.

Hamilton County voters can check their assigned polling place and sample ballot through the county board.

What polling shows

Polls compiled by The New York Times, updated Nov. 3, show Landsman ahead in three named-candidate matchups:

  • Quantus Insights, Oct. 19–21: Landsman 48%, Conroy 44% — a four-percentage-point lead.
  • Torchlight Strategies, Sept. 29–Oct. 2: Landsman 46%, Conroy 44% — a two-point lead. The Times identifies Conroy as the Republican sponsor.
  • Quantus Insights, Aug. 21–24: Landsman 48%, Conroy 45% — a three-point lead.

The tracker also lists a Torchlight entry for Sept. 29–Oct. 2 showing 45% Democratic and 45% Republican. That row uses party labels rather than candidate names and should be distinguished from the 46%–44% Landsman–Conroy matchup.

The latest Quantus report surveyed 561 likely voters and reported a design-adjusted margin of error of ±4.4 percentage points. Its figures including undecided voters who leaned toward a candidate were 47.6% for Landsman and 43.9% for Conroy, matching the Times’ rounded 48%–44% entry. The tracker entries do not list sample sizes or margins of error for the other polls. Polls describe preferences during their survey periods and do not establish an election result.
