Steve Stivers won the ELK Township precinct with 73.8 percent of the vote in the 2016 election, a margin of 260 votes.

In 2016, 59.2 percent of all registered voters in the precinct, 546 total voters, voted in the race for the district's representative in the U.S. House. Steve Stivers received 73.8 percent of the total vote in the precinct. Recent registration data shows there has been little change with a total registered to vote of 927. If the parties received the same percentage of the vote in 2020, Steve Stivers would win by a margin of 261 votes.

"I expect voter turnout to be exceptional, perhaps the highest in over a century, since 1908," said Michael McDonald, who directs the U.S. Elections Project. If those estimates are correct and the 65.7 percent participation rate remains the same, the voter turnout in the country would jump from 133 million up to 145 million people, according to the Brookings Institute.
