According to MetrowNews, West Virginia has the cleanest voting registration list in state history, Secretary of State Mac Warner told all 55 County Clerks at their conference in Bridgeport Monday.

 

“We have zero counties that have more registered voters than they do people of voting age in the population,” Warner said.

 

The state has removed 366,000 names or about 25 percent of their voter registration list. Those names include duplicates, deceased and convicted felon voter files that were removed.

 

“That list maintenance clean up that the clerks’ have accomplished, coupled with voter ID and other security protocols that we have put into place here in West Virginia is what has thrust West Virginia to the top in confidence in elections throughout the United States,” Warner said.

 

The West Virginia County Clerks Conference, held in Bridgeport, gives county clerks a chance to talk about the past election. It also gives clerks the opportunity to learn about new technology and laws for upcoming elections.
