Early Voting Begins

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Early voting was first introduced in West Virginia 8 years ago. Since then, the number of voters taking advantage in nearly every election has gone up. Early voting for the 2012 General Election began Wednesday and will continue until 5:00 P.M. November 3rd. The early voting period includes two Saturdays, October 27th and November 3rd. There will be no early voting on Sunday, October 28th. West Virginians can visit the Secretary of State's website, www.wvsos.com, to check the hours of early voting in their county and to find more information. In the 2008 General Election, more than 153,000 people voted early. That was almost 22 percent of all the votes cast in that election.
