Citizens who want to participate in this election must be registered 30 days before the election. The last day to register is Tuesday, October 11.
The League of Women Voters of Washington County is preparing its nonpartisan voters guide for the election. The guide will be available in Washington County papers the week of October 31 and will include information directly from candidates. The guide will also be online at http://washingtoncountypalwv.org for voters to check at their convenience.
For those voters who are unable to go their polling place on November 8, absentee ballots may be requested. Enough time must be allowed for the Election Office to process the application, send the ballot, and receive it back from the voter. The completed absentee ballot application must be in the Election Office by Tuesday, November 1. Voters should apply as soon as possible in order to meet the deadline of receiving the actual absentee ballot and returning the voted ballot to the Election Office by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 4.
To request a voter registration form or absentee ballot application, contact the Washington County Election Office at 724-228-6750. Forms are also available in some libraries. For any other questions, such as where to vote, call the Election Office or check the LWV of Washington County website, which will connect you to the websites that have this information.
