 Register to vote 

It is easy to register to vote or update your registration information, just follow the simple steps below. If you have any questions, please visit our Voter FAQ page. 

Download the Registration form.  The mail-in form uses the free Adobe Reader.
To download Adobe Reader, click here.



Please register only if you are an eligible West Virginia resident. If you reside in another state, use USA.gov to find links to your home states registration information. See our FAQ to find out more about eligiblity

Check to see if you are already registered.
 



Follow these steps:

1. Register using your home address. The law requires that you register where you live, not at a business address or Post Office box.  When updating your registration, you must register after you have moved.

2. Click in the boxes on the form to type in your current information. Mark the appropriate selection depending on whether you are completing a new registration, an address update or a party change.  When you are finished entering the information, print the form. You must complete the remaining steps. 

3. SIGN YOUR LEGAL NAME in ink in the "Voter Signature" box. We're sorry, but the form can't be submitted online because the law requires your original signature.

4. Find your County Clerk's address in the roster of County Clerks and enter it on the mailing face of the card. Add postage. Mail your complete form to the County Clerk. Be sure to check the registration deadlines for the next state/county election (21 days before the next election).

5. Follow up! If you do not receive a notice in the mail within three weeks, call your County Clerk to see if there is a problem. The clerk is required to mail a notice to you at the address you gave, but if the notice is returned undeliverable at that address, the clerk cannot legally complete the registration and issue your voter card.
