Voter Registration Deadlines

Primary Election Deadline: April 19, 2016

General Election Deadline: October 18, 2016

Three weeks before each election county officials will begin putting together poll books for the respective precincts in their counties. For county clerks to be able to put this information together, the deadline for citizens to register to vote, change their address, or switch political parties is exactly twenty-one (21) days before that election.

WV Code §3-2-6

Differences between types:
Open: Anyone can participate regardless of their registered party affiliation.
Semi-open: Anyone can participate except registered Republicans.
Semi-closed: Only registered Democrats or undeclared can participate.
Closed: Only registered Democrats can participate.

Hillary already has superdelegate commitment from 6, including Governor Tomblin and the one Democratic Senator Manchin.

She starts with 16% of the vote under her belt already!

Bernie has one committed superdelegate.

Oops. Never mind. I forgot that he decided that the supers should all support him now.

714 Democrats to pick him!

Well, he's got 41 so far.

Maybe he should have saved his airfare to Italy for a trip to Guam!

The pope is not a superdelegate, Bernie.

With the way the proportionality works, the vote spread needed to get exactly 65% of the delegates tends to be higher.

How much do you want to bet there'll be Independents who didn't bother registering demanding to vote anyway?

It's easy to find out these deadlines and to educate yourself on your state's election laws, except for some people it's too much trouble. MUCH easier to loudly complain about how unfair it all is.
