Absentee Ballots
Registered Voters in Monongalia County who will be out of town during the entire period of Early Voting and on Election Day or who are confined to their homes may apply for an absentee ballot no later than October 28, 2026. Ballots are to be returned by mail and must be postmarked by the date of the election, November 3rd, 2026. Military and Overseas Voters may take advantage of the online ballot delivery system by applying for an online absentee ballot using the separate Federal Post Card Application (FPCA).
You may submit your application by mail, fax or email (preferred method). All applications must be signed in the handwriting of the voter. Digital or electronic signatures are not valid. Each voter must submit a separate application. It is not a requirement to submit an ID when applying for an absentee ballot. Your ballot will be mailed thru the United States Postal Service once your signed application is received in our office.

Voter Registration
Check your voter registration at any time here:
https://apps.sos.wv.gov/Elections/voter/amiregisteredtovote
If you have not voted in either of the past two Federal Elections, please take a few seconds and use the link above to check your voter registration. Please double check your residence address. Your ballot style (meaning the State Senate, House of Delegate, and Municipal contests) is based on the residence address on your voter registration. You can make changes until October 13th, 2026, and update this information so it is correct for the General Election on November 3rd. In a General Election, the candidates on the ballot are from each political party, so the political party on your voter registration will not affect your ability to vote for any candidate of any party. Your registered political party choice only affects your options when you vote in a Primary Election.
Residents of Monongalia County can register to vote or update their voter registration address and political party by completing the West Virginia Voter Registration application. The deadline to register to vote or make a change to your voter registration for the General Election is October 13th, 2026. Applicants must be 17 years of age to apply and must be 18 on or before Election Day to be eligible to vote. Voter registration and updates may be completed online at ovr.sos.wv.gov, in person or through the mail to the Monongalia County Clerk’s Office.
