What you need to know on Election Day in West Virginia • West Virginia Watch

It's the general election today and we've rounded up what you need to know about voting and our insurance plans.

What should you know about voting?

Polls open at 6:30 a.m. today in West Virginia for Election Day. They stay open until 7:30 p.m. As long as you are in line to vote by 7:30 p.m., you can vote.

When you arrive at your place Polling stationthey will ask for your name and ID.

If your name cannot be found in the poll book or you do not have ID with you, you will receive a provisional ballot. If you did not have your ID with you, go to your county clerk's office before voting begins and show your ID to have your ballot counted. If you received a provisional ballot for other reasons, the Board of Canvassers will count your vote if it determines that you are eligible to vote and registered.

Early votes and postal votes will only be counted after the polling stations close.

Who can I vote for?

The big races today are for U.S. President, one of West Virginia's two U.S. Senate seats and both U.S. House seats.

Statewide, you can vote for the next governor, secretary of state, comptroller, agriculture commissioner and attorney general.

Every seat in the West Virginia House of Representatives and half of the 34 seats in the Senate are up for grabs. You can see who is running for your district here Foreign Minister website.

What breeds do we cover?

Tonight, West Virginia Watch will report the results of the following races, if called:

We also plan to report the results of Change 1which, if passed, would amend the West Virginia Constitution to prohibit people from engaging in the practice of medically assisted suicide.

Sometimes races are too close to decide. For example, in 2020, Election Day was November 3, 2020, but the presidential race was too close to call by November 7, 2020. We will wait for the Associated Press to call a race before declaring a winner. However, all results are unofficial until certified by the West Virginia Secretary of State.

You can find all of our election coverage here Decision 2024 Category on our website.

The day after Election Day, we'll follow up on smaller races or big upsets.
