The registration deadline is 21 days before any election. Applicants must be U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old by Election Day, residents of West Virginia and the county where they register, and not currently under conviction, probation, or parole for a felony, treason, or election bribery unless their civil rights have been restored.

Instead, residents participate in county, state, and federal elections. At the Fayette County level, voters cast ballots for County Commission seats, Sheriff, Assessor, County Clerk, Prosecuting Attorney, and other county offices on partisan ballots. To find their assigned polling place, residents can use the West Virginia Secretary of State's polling place lookup tool at https://services.sos.wv.gov/Elections/Voter/FindMyPollingPlace. The system requires entering a name and county, then displays the precinct and polling location. West Virginia requires identification at the polls; acceptable forms include a driver's license, state ID card, passport, employee ID with photograph, student ID from a West Virginia high school or college, U.S. Military ID, or a concealed carry permit.
