Before 1852, the president of the Ohio State Senate would serve as acting governor if a vacancy in the governorship occurred.

Celeste was the last lieutenant governor to be elected separately. In 1978, George Voinovich became the first lieutenant governor to be elected on the same ticket with the governor.
