‘Super Tuesday’ elections held throughout West Virginia

By RealWV Staff,

The municipalities of Rupert, Rainelle, White Sulphur Springs, Lewisburg and Alderson will be holding municipal elections today, June 10. 

According to information from the West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office (WVSOS) 77 municipal elections will be held across the state today. An overwhelming majority of these elections will be contested – meaning candidates for mayor, council, clerk, and/or recorder are not running unopposed. According to Secretary of State Kris Warner, municipalities with contested races will receive a compliance visit on Election Day from an authorized representative of the Secretary of State’s Office.

“My office will have more than a dozen individuals visiting municipal elections throughout the state on Election Day, June 10,” said Secretary Warner. “These compliance visits are intended to ensure that polling locations are safe, secure, and following the protocols in place to help every interested and eligible voter cast a ballot.”

Warner emphasized that the visits are educational in nature to assist the clerks or recorders in charge of the elections, as well as the poll workers at each location. Trained members of the Elections Division, the WVSOS Field Team, or the Investigations Division will conduct the compliance visits.
