Oak Hill, WV (WOAY) The deadline to request your absentee ballot in Fayette County is Thursday, May 7.
The Fayette County Clerk’s Office is alerting voters to a small change ahead of the upcoming primary election as the deadline approaches.
This year, ballots will arrive in updated envelopes.
The clerk’s office says the change only affects the appearance of the envelope, not the voting process itself.
Voter eligibility, ballot contents, and security procedures all remain the same.
County Clerk Michelle Holly says the update is to avoid confusion and reminds voters that even though the envelopes may look different, election security remains a top priority.
Absentee voters are encouraged to follow all instructions carefully, sign and complete all required sections, and return ballots by the deadline listed in their materials.
If you have questions, you can contact the Fayette County Clerk’s office by phone at (304)574-4235 or email at Barbara.lucas@fayettecountywv.gov.
