Voting. It's the American Way. We handle all the details of national, state, and local elections, from operating the polling places throughout the county to tallying up the votes once the polls close.

If you're new to Wood County, you'll need to register -- and that deadline is 21 days before an election. If you've recently moved within Wood County, you can also change your registration here, or at the polls on election day.

Just a Note: You must do this at your new polling place, so call us first so we can direct you to your new precinct.

We're open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and we look forward to helping you. Visit us on the fourth floor of the Courthouse, or call (304) 424-1860.
