unicipal elections will take place in the Kanawha County communities of Clendenin, Marmet and Pratt on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
According to the West Virginia Secretary of State's Office, 104 municipal elections are scheduled to take place in 2025. Of those, 77 elections will take place on Tuesday, June 10.
West Virginia Secretary of State Kris Warner said the overwhelming majority of Tuesday's elections, hosted by cities and towns throughout West Virginia, feature contested races—meaning candidates for mayor, council, clerk, and/or recorder are not running unopposed. According to Warner, municipalities with contested races will receive a compliance visit on Election Day from an authorized representative of the Secretary of State's Office.
"My office will have more than a dozen individuals visiting municipal elections throughout the state on Election Day, June 10th," Warner said. "These compliance visits are intended to ensure that polling locations are safe, secure, and following the protocols in place to help every interested and eligible voter cast a ballot."
Warner emphasized that the visits are educational in nature to assist the clerks or recorders in charge of the elections, as well as the poll workers at each location. Trained members of the Elections Division, the WVSOS Field Team, or the Investigations Division will conduct the compliance visits.
Warner himself plans to visit seven (7) municipalities holding elections in Marion and Harrison Counties.
The Secretary of State's office encourages every registered voter living in a municipality hosting an election to participate and cast a ballot. Early voting for the June 10 elections ended Saturday, June 7.

Citizens are asked to report any suspicious or illegal election activity that they may witness. The "See Something, Say Something!" campaign encourages the public to report possible election irregularities to the Secretary of State's Investigations Division by calling toll-free 877-FRAUD-WV.
"Illegal campaign activity of any kind is not tolerated in West Virginia," Warner said. "Individuals engaging in election fraud will be subject to investigation and prosecution.”
