This bill proposes an amendment to the West Virginia Code regarding the scheduling of primary elections, specifically for the office of the President of the United States. It establishes that primary elections for this office will be held on the third Tuesday in February in 2028 and every fourth year thereafter. This change is intended to clarify and set a consistent date for presidential primary elections in the state.

Additionally, the bill modifies the existing law that previously stated primary elections would occur on the second Tuesday in May every two years. The new legal language replaces this provision with the specific date for presidential primaries, ensuring that West Virginia aligns its election schedule with the established timeline for presidential elections.
