You can choose whether to vote on Election Day or during the early voting period, whichever is easier for you. This can be especially helpful if it would be difficult or not possible for you to vote on Election Day. Early voting locations may be less crowded, as well.
When can I vote early?
- You can vote in person before Election Day between Oct 23 and Nov 2. Dates and times may vary by location.
Where can I vote early?
- Early voting locations may be different from where you vote on Election Day. Check West Virginia’s site to find where to vote early. Calhoun’s early voting takes place in the Courthouse Annex (former jail) adjacent to the Courthouse, see hours below.
What do I need to bring?
You will need to show a valid and non-expired ID to vote in West Virginia.

If you’re a first-time voter who registered to vote by mail, you’ll need to show proof of residence to vote. Acceptable forms include:

Voters without ID: If you are unable to provide ID, you will be able to vote a provisional ballot. You may be able to vote a regular ballot if a poll worker has known you for at least six months prior to the election, an adult who has known you for at least six months accompanies you and signs an affidavit certifying your identity, or you are a resident of a licensed state care facility and your polling place is in that facility.
