Figures released Monday show more West Virginia voters turned out to cast their ballots in-person at early voting centers across the state this general election than did during either of the last two general elections.
Early in-person voting in West Virginia’s general election was open from Oct. 23 to Nov. 2. According to data from the Secretary of State’s office, more than 310,000 people cast their votes via in-person early voting, not including mail-in absentee ballots.
That’s over a quarter of the total voters eligible to vote this general election — up from 2020 and 2016.
| 2016 | 2020 | 2024 | |
| Total Voters Eligible to Vote in General Election | 1,274,887 | 1,268,460 | 1,209,467 |
| Total In-Person Early Votes | 209,777 | 256,113 | 310,421 |
| Registered Voters Voting Early at In-Person Voting Centers | 16.45% | 20.19% | 25.67% |
Monongalia and Monroe Counties had the highest percentage of early in-person voters relative to total registered voters; McDowell and Mingo Counties had the lowest.
Election day is Nov. 5.
