Mallory, West Virginia Public Records

Citizen, a West Virginia resident, at least 17 years old (you can't vote until 18), and not currently under conviction or serving a sentence for a felony, treason, or election bribery. Voting rights are restored after sentence completion in West Virginia. Registration requires a West Virginia driver's license or ID card number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. You can also register in person at the Logan County Clerk's office, at the Division of Motor Vehicles, or through mail-in forms. As an unincorporated community, Mallory has no municipal government and therefore no city council or mayoral elections. Residents vote in county, state, and federal contests. Logan County elects a three-member County Commission serving staggered six-year terms, along with County Clerk, Circuit Clerk, Sheriff, Prosecuting Attorney, Assessor, Surveyor, and other countywide offices. These county elections typically occur in even-numbered years, with commission seats rotated. To locate your polling place, use the Secretary of State's lookup tool at https://services.sos.wv.gov/Elections/Voter/FindMyPollingPlace, which requires your name and date of birth or address. Polling assignments are based on precinct, with Mallory voters assigned to precincts within Logan County's district system. Polling locations are often schools, community centers, or fire stations. Many election records are public in West Virginia. Voter registration lists can be purchased by campaigns and political organizations, though commercial use is restricted. Campaign finance reports for candidates and political committees are filed with either the Logan County Clerk for county races or the Secretary of State for state and federal candidates. State-level campaign finance records are accessible online at https://cfrs.wvsos.gov. Candidate filing information, including declarations of candidacy and nominating petitions, are public at the Logan County Clerk's office. Precinct-level results are published by both the Logan County Clerk and Secretary of State after certification. The county, like much of the southern coalfield region, has trended strongly Republican in recent cycles, with Donald Trump winning by large margins in 2016, 2020, and 2024. All 100 West Virginia House of Delegates seats will be contested, including those representing Logan County in District 20 and surrounding areas. State Senate seats serve four-year terms with half the chamber up every two years - voters should verify whether their district is on the ballot. At the federal level, all three U.S. House seats will be up, with Logan County historically in the 3rd Congressional District, though redistricting may alter boundaries. Residents should monitor candidate filing in early 2026 through the Logan County Clerk's office for confirmed candidate lists and any local ballot measures. West Virginia offers absentee voting for those who will be absent from the county on Election Day, are ill or physically disabled, are working on Election Day (including poll workers in other precincts), are incarcerated but not convicted felons, or have religious commitments preventing in-person voting. Early in-person voting runs at the Logan County Clerk's office and designated satellite locations beginning 13 days before Election Day through three days before the election. Absentee ballot applications can be submitted online through the Secretary of State's website, by mail, or in person at the Logan County Clerk's office. Completed ballots must be returned by Election Day, either by mail (postmarked by Election Day and received within a few days) or delivered in person to the Logan County Clerk's office or available ballot drop boxes. West Virginia has specific requirements for absentee ballot applications and witnesses - voters should carefully follow instructions provided by the Logan County Clerk.
