Today is the last day to register to vote in West Virginia’s upcoming midterm election.

The West Virginia Secretary of State's office says voters have until midnight tonight to register online to vote. And mail-in registrations must be postmarked by today, October 16.

Folks can register by visiting their county clerk’s office, the Secretary of State’s office, or registering online by visiting www.GoVoteWV.com.

Aside from a U.S. Senate race, all three of West Virginia’s seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are up for grabs – as well as state-level House and Senate seats.

Also, on the ballot, there are two unexpired terms on the bench of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. And two constitutional amendments -- one dealing with abortion and another focused on the state judicial branch’s budget.

The midterm election is Nov. 6.

Early voting begins Oct. 24 and runs until Nov. 3. Early voting hours and locations are determined by county clerk's offices.
