Summary
West Virginia’s 2026 Primary Elections are officially over, with all 55 counties certifying results — except for a few contested precincts. Turnout hit 21% with 252K ballots cast, but early voting surged 8% over 2022. A major change: the GOP closed its primary to unaffiliated voters for the first time in nearly 30 years, after a state committee mandate and extensive outreach. Yet, some unaffiliated voters may have slipped through in Harrison and Fayette counties, triggering legal challenges. The Secretary of State will analyze voter data by July 31 and release a full transparency report this summer, covering everything from turnout to voting methods and future recommendations.
