Harrison County, West Virginia, is changing how it conducts local elections by synchronizing them with state elections starting in 2026. Officials anticipate that this move will streamline the voting experience and potentially broaden participation in both county and municipal races.

Early voting in New York City’s 2025 elections has surged, with over 66,000 residents casting ballots in the first two days—more than doubling the turnout from the 2021 cycle. Unofficial figures from the Board of Elections indicate a significant rise in civic participation.
