More than 15,600 high school seniors in West Virginia registered to vote during the 2018-2019 school year.
The majority of those newly registered high school voters came out of Kanawha and Berkeley Counties – both seeing more than 1,000 young new voters, according to a news release from the Secretary of State’s Office.
Secretary of State Mac Warner said voter registration in most West Virginia high schools is a student-led effort and said this large number of new registrations is an “incredible accomplishment in such a short period of time.”
To date, a total of 128,704 West Virginians, of all ages, have registered to vote since 2017. Of those, 36,000 were high school seniors when they registered.
