WV Patriots for Peace and the West Virginia Citizens Action Group launched a Web site Sunday where state residents can "vote" on Super Tuesday.
The Web site, www.votewv.net, will allow people to pick their nominee for president in a non-partisan straw poll.
"We are going to have our own Super Tuesday," said Rev. Jim Lewis of West Virginia Patriots for Peace. "Now, West Virginia will get excited ... about the presidential election."
Early voting began at 3 p.m. Sunday and will end at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 5 - "Super Tuesday."
West Virginia's official primary is on May 13, which makes many voters feel almost left out, Lewis said.
"We want to give them a feeling of participation by conducting this straw poll," he said. "It's time to make our voices heard in a primary process that has left us out."
Results and voters comments will be posted at 8 p.m. on Feb 5 and will be sent to the presidential candidates.
