West Virginia Primary Registration Near
WEST VIRGINIA....
Monday is the last day that West Virginia citizens can register to vote in the upcoming U.S. Senate special primary election. Early voting begins August 20th and runs through August 25th. The last day to request an absentee ballot is August 23rd, and the primary will be held August 28th. Federal, state and local candidates hoping to be the next U.S. Senator from West Virginia spoke Thursday afternoon when the Putnam Republican Women's Club hosted their "Patriotic Christmas" event at the Hurricane Community Center. Organizers said the goal was to encourage candidates, show support for military members and allow voters to hear from candidates running for federal, state and local office. Nine Republicans, three Democrats and one Mountain Party candidate filed certificate of announcement paperwork with the Secretary of State's Office.
