Panhandle County (city of Ellwood City) is the fifth of six county groups to report, bringing the statewide count to 5 of 6 counties — about 83% reporting. Only Kanawha/Braxton (Charleston/Sutton) remains before the primary picture is complete. The Panhandle is a single county with no sub-district splits.
Randolph County (city of Elkins) is the fourth of six county groups to report, lifting the statewide count to 4 of 6 counties — about 67% reporting. Kanawha/Braxton (Charleston/Sutton) and the Panhandle (Ellwood City) remain. Randolph is a single county with no sub-district splits, and its nonpartisan judge’s race was close enough to force a runoff.
Lewis/Upshur County (cities of Weston and Buckhannon) has become the second of six county groups to report, pushing the statewide count to 2 of 6 counties — about 33% reporting. Still outstanding: Randolph, Kanawha/Braxton, Marion/Gilmer, and the Panhandle.
Lewis/Upshur saw no county-office candidates file in either party, so the action was in the legislative races, the city ballots, and the nonpartisan contests. Vote totals appear next to each candidate; winners advance as their party’s nominee to the general election.
The first ballots of the 2026 Mountaineer Boys State election have been counted.

Below are the certified Monroe/Webster results for both party primaries and the nonpartisan races. Primary winners advance as their party’s nominee to the general election. Vote totals appear next to each candidate; winners are marked.
