The vote failed by just around 250 votes, which is less than 1% of all the votes cast.

Chuck Ellis won the Republican primary in May over Dean Hettinger and Chuck Selders. He faced former commissioner Rick Conkle as a write-in candidate for the general election. Ellis won with 9,759 votes to 297 votes for Conkle, in unofficial vote totals from the Coshocton County Board of Elections. Ellis will replace Gary Fischer, who chose not to seek a new term.
