AP Decision Notes: What to expect in West Virginia on Election Day

The Associated Press (AP) has announced that West Virginia will be holding elections for federal, state, and other offices on Election Day. The AP Decision Team will monitor key races, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, the mayor of Charleston, a statewide ballot measure, state Senate, and state House of Delegates. It is anticipated that about 762,000 votes were cast in the 2024 presidential election in West Virginia, with 44% of them being early or absentee ballots.

The AP expects that more than half of the counties will report all or nearly all early and absentee votes in the first vote report of the night, and four-fifths of counties will release at least some in-person Election Day results at the start of the night.
