CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Secretary of State Kris Warner has released an online sample ballot lookup tool that lets West Virginia voters preview their ballot ahead of the May 12 primary election.
The WVSOS Sample Ballot Lookup Tool, available at GoVoteWV.com, asks voters to enter their name, date of birth and home county to display a sample ballot tailored to their precinct. Warner announced the tool Monday, April 13, saying his office continues to work with the state’s 55 county clerks to prepare for the primary.
“Voters reviewing their specific sample ballot before voting is one of the best ways to prepare for the upcoming election,” Warner said. “The Sample Ballot Lookup Tool is a convenient option available to all registered voters to be informed on Election Day.”
Warner said sample ballots will also be published in a newspaper in every county between April 16 and April 22 and may be available on request from county clerks’ offices.
The secretary of state also reminded voters that Tuesday, April 21 is the last day to register or update a voter registration for the primary. Early in-person voting begins Wednesday, April 29.
More information on the May 12 primary — including photo ID requirements, absentee voting and other dates and deadlines — is available at GoVoteWV.com.
