The bill amends West Virginia's voter registration laws, specifically section 3-2-25, to enhance the systematic purging program for removing ineligible voters from active voter rolls. Key changes include the reduction of the period of voting inactivity from four years to two years, which will allow for more frequent updates to the voter registration database. Additionally, the bill removes an obsolete reference to the combined voter registration and licensing fund, streamlining the language and focus of the law.

The bill outlines a comprehensive process for confirming voter eligibility, including the comparison of voter registration records with data from the Division of Motor Vehicles and other state agencies. It mandates that counties conduct systematic purging every odd-numbered year, with specific timelines for completing the process and notifying voters. Furthermore, it establishes procedures for mailing confirmation notices to voters who may have changed addresses or have not voted in the past two years, ensuring that the voter rolls remain accurate and up-to-date.
