ABOUT THIS STATE
Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains... very low voter turnout! Let’s fix that last part. Since the 2014 election, West Virginia has had two races that were decided by one vote. ONE vote. So go vote! West Virginia has two main elections in 2022: Its primary election will take place on May 10, and the general will be held on November 8. Here's what you need to know to be a voter in the Mountain State. (Source: Ballot Ready)
