House of Delegates Changes House District Boundary Lines
During the 2011 Special Session of the West Virginia Legislature, the House of Delegates changed the House District boundary lines for Monroe County. Effective with the May 8, 2012 Primary Election, three Monroe County voting precincts have been combined with Greenbrier County to create House District ___. These precincts include Precinct # 1 Alderson, Precinct # 7 Sinks Grove and Precinct # 8 Highland Green. What does this mean if you are registered in one of these precincts? This simply means that you will vote for a different candidate than the rest of Monroe County for the House of Delegates. A voter in one of these precincts will still vote in their normal assigned precinct and will still vote for county and statewide offices just like the rest of the county.
During the 2011 Special Session of the West Virginia Legislature, the State Senate changed the boundary lines of the 10th Senatorial District. Monroe County is in this district. which is the 10th Senatorial District. Previously, the counties included in this district were Monroe, Greenbrier, Summers and a small portion of Fayette County. The Senate changed the boundary line to include all of Fayette County in this district instead of just a portion. This change will also be effective with the May 8, 2012 Primary Election. What does this change mean to a Monroe County voter? This change simply means that all of Fayette County, instead of a portion, will join with Monroe, Summers and Greenbrier counties in this district.

Policy on Obtaining Voter's Registration List
In accordance with WV Code 3-2-30, the Monroe
County Clerk’s is authorized to sell lists of the registered voters in
Monroe County to be used for non-commercial use only.
We can provide these lists in several different
ways. We can provide a complete list of names of all the registered
voters in the county and we can also provide a list containing the
names of voters in a specific party or in a specific precinct(s).
The list will include the following information;
name of voter, mailing address, party affiliation, date of birth,
voter status and the precinct in which the voter is registered. State
law prohibits the Clerk’s Office from providing the voter’s phone
number on such lists. The voter’s status will be listed as “Active” or
“Inactive”. An active voter is a voter who has consistently voted in
the past. An Inactive voter is a voter who may not have voted in the
past few elections. As far as voting, there is no difference
whatsoever in an Active or Inactive Voter. When an Inactive voter
votes, his or her status is simply changed to Active by our staff.
Voter’s list can be provided in paper or digital
format. The cost for a paper list is one cent per voter name. A list
in digital format costs one cent per name plus $10.00 for each disk
required. The number of registered voters in the county varies almost
daily. We suggest you contact the Clerk’s Office for the fee for when
you are ready to purchase a list. We generally can provide you with
voter’s list in 24 hours or less.
The County Clerk’s Office works very had in
keeping our voter list current. If you see someone’s name on the list
that has passed away, we kindly ask that you notify us. As hard as we
try in keeping the list current, we may have inadvertently missed
removing the name of someone who has passed.
