Fax Your West Virginia Ballot From Overseas
West Virginia takes a faxed ballot only if you received your ballot electronically.
West Virginia lets a UOCAVA voter, military or overseas, who receives the ballot electronically return the signed ballot to the county clerk by mail, email, fax, or through the secure online ballot portal. Source

What goes in the fax
Fax the pages together, to the line your election office uses for ballots.
Every page of it, including any page you left blank.
A West Virginia UOCAVA voter faxing a voted ballot sends, in order, the signed Electronic Transmission Coversheet waiving the right to a secret ballot, the signed Oath of Voter, and the ballot, as the Secretary of State's fax return instructions direct.
Open the formYour county's ballot fax
The state's directory publishes no ballot fax line for any county. Call the office before you send and ask for the line.
From the West Virginia directory, checked September 30, 2026.
Only if you qualify: you received your ballot electronically.
Call before you send. Fax lines change and some stop answering. A short call confirms the ballot fax number and whether the office has your ballot request. An office’s general fax is not always its ballot line.
Deadlines
Under W. Va. Code 3-3-5(i), a voted ballot submitted electronically, which the Secretary of State's UOCAVA page says includes fax, must be received by the county clerk no later than the close of polls on Election Day.
code.wvlegislature.gov/3-3-5Under W. Va. Code 3-3-5(e)(2), the county clerk sends a UOCAVA voter's ballot by mail or electronically, as the voter requests, and may choose either when the voter states no preference.
code.wvlegislature.gov/3-3-5What it costs
Every account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one. A ballot packet of up to 10 pages sends free, with no credit card.
Free pages reset on the 1st. If a second ballot in the same month takes you past 10 pages, a Lite pack covers it, with no subscription.
Questions
Can I fax my West Virginia ballot from any country?
If you qualify, yes. A US fax number receives a fax the same way wherever it is sent from. Whether West Virginia takes it depends on the condition at the top of this page, so read it before you send.
What if my county's fax line doesn't answer?
Call the number in your county's row before you try again. A line that rings and never connects will not start working on a retry, and the office can tell you whether the number changed.
My county's row has no ballot fax. Where do I send it?
Call the number in your county's row and ask for the fax line the office takes ballots on. The state's directory does not publish one for that office, and an office's general fax is not always its ballot line.
Do I need my own fax number to send my ballot?
No. Sending needs only the fax number your election office uses. A number of your own matters only if you want the blank ballot faxed to you.
Is this an official West Virginia election site?
No. FaxTerra is a fax service. West Virginia's rules come from its election authority and your county, linked under official sources.
