This bill proposes the repeal of section 3-6-4a of the Code of West Virginia, which currently mandates that write-in candidates must file with the Secretary of State in order for their votes to be counted. The removal of this requirement aims to simplify the voting process and increase accessibility for write-in candidates.

By eliminating the filing requirement, the bill seeks to encourage more participation in elections by allowing voters to express their preferences for write-in candidates without the additional bureaucratic step. This change is intended to enhance the democratic process in West Virginia by making it easier for candidates to run and for voters to support them.
