Recounts
Automatic recount: none confirmed in the sources read.
Requested recount: A candidate on the ballot in one county may request a recount, with a bond, within 48 hours of the declaration of results; a multi-county candidate until the last county certifies. West Virginia has no automatic recount. West Virginia Secretary of State, recount best practices and procedures guide
Not confirmed here: statewide certification, ballot cure deadline. A missing item means it was not verified, not that no rule exists.

FEC bulk data read November 4, 2026. Campaign totals come from each filing's own FEC summary through its latest processed report. Outside spending is independent expenditures itemized in committee reports in the FEC bulk files, primaries included; late 24- and 48-hour reports, party coordinated spending, communication costs and groups that do not report to the FEC are not included. Outside spending is, by law, made without coordinating with the candidate, and it is not the candidate's money. A contribution or expenditure is not evidence of a vote, favor or wrongdoing.
