West Virginia Voters Decide Senate, House, and Legislative Races in 2026 General Election

Voters across West Virginia headed to the polls on Tuesday to decide who will represent them in the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the state Legislature, with real-time election results provided through a partnership with the Associated Press, Mountain State Spotlight reported.

Republicans entered election day heavily favored to sweep the state’s congressional contests, according to race ratings from the Cook Political Report cited by Bloomberg News. Voters cast ballots for the U.S. Senate seat alongside the Mountain State’s two U.S. House seats, while also tracking a statewide constitutional amendment centered on voter eligibility.

The Voter Eligibility Amendment on Every Ballot

Every ballot handed to West Virginia voters included a specific constitutional amendment for consideration. The measure establishes that in all elections held across the state, only United States citizens who are also citizens of West Virginia are qualified to cast a ballot.

To help residents check the local legislative contests, the election setup included district lookup tools where voters could enter their specific addresses. Because legislative boundaries dictate the exact matchups for the West Virginia House of Delegates and the State Senate, voters used these address tools to confirm which names appeared on their specific ballots for District 1 and surrounding legislative districts.
