Summary

The bill mandates that absentee ballots be returned with a form containing the voter’s name, legal residence address, date of birth, and the last four digits of their Social Security number or driver’s license number, which county officials will use to confirm identity. This information must be placed inside the ballot envelope, not on its outside, to protect voter privacy. It applies to all qualified absentee voters in West Virginia.
