Ohio City has no incorporated municipal government and therefore holds no city elections; residents vote in county, state, and federal elections only.

Ohio City residents can also vote in person during the early voting period or on Election Day at Gunnison County Voter Service Centers; locations and hours are posted at www.gunnisonco.gov/clerk-recorder prior to each election. Colorado provides a polling place and ballot tracking tool at www.govotecolorado.gov where voters can verify registration, track their mail ballot, and find the nearest ballot drop box or voter service center.
