For the Senate, three house districts are combined to create 33 Senate seats, and Senators serve four-year, staggered terms. The General Assembly draws the US Congressional districts, creating 16 seats in the US House of Representatives to form the Ohio delegation. The Governor must approve the district map.
The Judicial Branch is headed by the Ohio Supreme Court, which has one chief justice and six associate justices, each elected to staggered six-year terms.
