CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WOWK) – West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner says nearly 95,000 West Virginia residents have requested absentee ballots for the November 3 General Election.
As of Tuesday, Sept. 29, Warner says there is a total of 94,413 total absentee ballots requested statewide and more than 1,249,812 West Virginians are registered voters.
Warner also explained that the County Clerks have sent 94.4%, or 89,096, of requested ballots to West Virginian voters.
For voters with access to the absentee ballot request portal, our data shows the online option is their most expedient way to request a ballot. Clerks across the state are returning requested ballots within about a day of voters requesting them. They are now able to give more time and attention to the voters who need assistance when filling out the paper application or need additional items to complete the voting process.
