This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to enhance the systematic purging program for removing ineligible voters from active voter registration files. Key changes include the removal of an obsolete reference to the combined voter registration and licensing fund and a reduction in the period of voting inactivity from four years to two years. The bill outlines the procedures for the systematic purging program, which must be conducted every odd-numbered year, and mandates that county clerks confirm the eligibility of voters who may have registered in other counties or have changed their addresses.

Additionally, the bill specifies that counties must utilize change of address information from the United States Postal Service to identify potentially ineligible voters. It establishes a process for mailing confirmation notices to voters who have not updated their registration or voted in the past two years, thereby ensuring that the voter rolls remain accurate and up-to-date. The bill also includes provisions for maintaining public inspection lists and requires that any voter designated as inactive must affirm their current residence when voting.
