The resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of West Virginia, specifically targeting Section 1 of Article IV, to explicitly prohibit non-U.S. citizens from voting in any elections held within the state. The amendment aims to clarify the voting rights of citizens and ensure that only individuals who are recognized as U.S. citizens can participate in the electoral process. The proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters during the next general election in 2024 for ratification or rejection.

The amendment is designated as "Amendment 1" and is referred to as the "Citizens Voting Amendment." Its summarized purpose is to affirm that individuals who are not U.S. citizens are ineligible to vote in West Virginia elections. The resolution outlines the necessary changes to the existing law, including the addition of language that explicitly states the voting restrictions for non-citizens, while also maintaining existing provisions regarding other voting disqualifications.
