To address when district and gender designated seats cannot be filled during elections or when vacancies occur

Summary

The measure updates West Virginia law on how political parties elect and appoint members to district‑based, gender‑specific executive committees. If a district cannot fill a male or female seat, the vacancy becomes an at‑large seat filled by the highest‑vote‑getting countywide candidates, and residency rules dictate how future vacancies are filled. The changes aim to ensure all seats are occupied while preserving gender balance.
