First Constitution of Ohio (1803-1851)

Under the first constitution, joint sessions of the legislature elected judges to seven year terms. Elections were generally in January, with judges seated in February. The state had three or four judges through this period.

Second Constitution of Ohio (1851-1912)

Under the second constitution, five judges were elected to five year terms, with one seat elected each autumn. The first election was autumn of 1851, with the top five candidates assigned terms by lot. Chief Justice was not voted separately, but chosen by other means. Change of law added a sixth judge for the 1892 election, with term starting February 1893, and terms were increased to six years. No elections were held in 1906 or 1907, when the state transitioned to electing two judges each in even numbered years and terms of sitting judges were extended to fit the new schedule.
