Out Of The Country West Virginia Voters Can Participate Online
WEST VIRGINIA....
Secretary of State Natalie Tennant says residents out of the country during the state's upcoming elections will be able to vote online. Participating voters will be given a security code and a link to Tennant's website, where they enter the code and fill out a ballot which will then be submitted electronically to the voter's county. The state has provided money for counties to pay for the online voting system on a first-come, first-served basis. Internet voting is expected to cost about $5,000 for the August 28th primary and about $7,500 for the general election of November 2nd. The last day to register for the primary is August 6th. Early voting begins August 20th and runs through August 25th, with the exception of August 22nd.
Early voting for the November 2nd general election starts October 13th and runs through October 30th.
