WV VOTING AT A GLANCE
-- Absentee Voting has been taking place since Sept. 23. Early Voting in-person begins Wednesday, Oct. 26, and runs through Saturday, Nov. 5.

-- For last-minute circumstances and emergencies before the election, there are provisions that allow citizens to vote by Emergency Absentee Ballot. Citizens are encouraged to contact their county clerk directly to learn more or visit GoVoteWV.com.

-- Citizens are also asked to report any possible irregularities or election fraud directly to the WV Secretary of State’s Office. Citizens can call 877-FRAUD-WV to make a report. They can also participate in the WVSOS “See Something, TEXT Something!” initiative. This allows a citizen to take a photo of a potential violation and text it directly to our investigations unit. To use the text-to-report technology, text “WV” to 45995.

While West Virginia does require an accepted form of identification, a photo ID is not required. Be sure you have an accepted form of identification.
