Kanawha/Braxton County (cities of Charleston and Sutton) is the last of six county groups to report — and with it, the 2026 Mountaineer Boys State primary is 100% reported. Both parties’ tickets are now set across every county, city, legislative seat, and the statewide constitutional offices.
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.
The centralized count of the statewide constitutional offices is in. Across all county groups, 288 ballots were cast in the Mountaineer Boys State primary — 157 Nationalist and 131 Federalist — setting both parties’ nominees for the fall general election and the field of five for the Supreme Court of Appeals.
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. Monroe/Webster County (cities of Union and Webster Springs) is the first of six county groups to report, putting 1 of 6 counties — roughly 17% — on the board. Five more county groups are still to come: Randolph, Lewis/Upshur, Kanawha/Braxton, Marion/Gilmer, and the Panhandle.
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.
