Summary

The bill updates West Virginia’s absentee voting rules so that citizens who are overseas, in the armed forces, have disabilities, or are temporarily away for work, school, or other duties can request mail‑in or electronic ballots. It sets eligibility criteria such as having a West Virginia domicile before leaving, holding a valid passport, not establishing permanent residency elsewhere, and intending to return. The changes aim to ensure these voters can participate in state elections.
