Grade: C
With a Ballot Tax for Independent Congressional candidates of $14,190.00, there is work to do.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO REMOVE THESE BARRIERS.
Real reform only happens when voters speak up and demand fair access to the ballot. There are two simple ways you can help move this effort forward. First, contact your state representatives using the tools below and let them know you support ballot access reform. Second, fill out our Get Involved form so we can keep you informed about legislation, advocacy opportunities, and ways you can continue helping open the ballot in West Virginia.

WHAT WE'RE DOING ABOUT IT
REASON FOR THE GRADE
• Candidate access: 1,000 signatures; $0 filing fee; estimated independent ballot tax $14,190; 47-day window
• Party access: Party formation requires 10,000 signatures with at least 1,000 from each of 3 congressional districts
• Bottom line: Moderate candidate requirements plus a statewide/distribution-heavy party petition justify C grade.
