What are Term limits for elected officials in Ohio?

In Ohio, there are term limits for certain elected officials. Specifically, state legislators are limited to serving a total of eight years in either the House of Representatives or the Senate, but they can serve a combined total of 16 years across both chambers. However, statewide elected officials, such as the governor, can serve two consecutive four-year terms, with no lifetime limit. Local officials, such as mayors and city council members, do not have term limits imposed by state law, although individual municipalities may establish their own rules.
