Summary

The bill updates West Virginia’s election code to define voting units as "polling locations" and sets minimum and maximum numbers of registered voters for urban and rural precincts. County commissions must redraw boundaries when limits are exceeded, report each precinct separately, and coordinate map updates with the Secretary of State for federal census redistricting. The changes aim to improve accuracy of voter districts and ensure public access to up‑to‑date election maps.
