Myra, West Virginia Public Records

Registration must be completed 21 days before any election. Voters must be U.S. Citizens, West Virginia residents, at least 18 years old by election day, and not currently serving a felony sentence or deemed mentally incompetent by a court. Since the community is unincorporated with no municipal government, residents don't vote in city or town elections. Instead, they participate in Lincoln County, state, and federal contests. Polling place assignments can be found using the West Virginia Secretary of State's polling place lookup tool at https://services.sos.wv.gov/Elections/Voter/FindMyPollingPlace or by contacting the Lincoln County Clerk directly. Early voting runs for 13 days before election day and ends three days prior, including two Saturdays with extended hours, typically at the Lincoln County Clerk's office and potentially satellite locations. Senator Shelley Moore Capito's The West Virginia Governor's race won't occur until 2028. However, 2026 will feature all three U.S. House seats for West Virginia - the area currently falls in District 1 - along with all 34 West Virginia Senate seats in even-numbered districts, all 100 West Virginia House of Delegates seats, and various Lincoln County offices potentially including County Commission seats, Sheriff, Assessor, County Clerk, and other constitutional officers depending on term expirations. Voters should check with the Lincoln County Clerk for specific local races and ballot measures. West Virginia campaign finance reports are filed with and accessible through the West Virginia Secretary of State's Elections Division at https://cfrs.wvsos.gov. Voter registration lists are public records available from the Lincoln County Clerk, though residential addresses are redacted for safety. Precinct-level election results are published by the Secretary of State after certification. West Virginia offers absentee voting by mail for voters who meet specific criteria: those who will be absent from the county on election day, those with illness or physical disability, those caring for a confined person, those in active military service, election officials working on election day, those hospitalized, and those for whom travel to the polls poses a serious health risk. Absentee ballot applications must be submitted to the Lincoln County Clerk by six days before the election, or by the Wednesday before for military and overseas voters. No-excuse absentee voting is not currently available in West Virginia; voters must qualify under one of the statutory reasons. Completed absentee ballots must be received by the close of polls on election day.
