This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to establish specific dates for primary elections, particularly for the office of the President of the United States. It specifies that primary elections will continue to be held on the second Tuesday in May for general purposes, but introduces a new provision that sets the primary election for the President to occur on the third Tuesday in February starting in 2028 and every four years thereafter.

The bill also includes a deletion of the previous language regarding the timing of the presidential primary elections, thereby clarifying the new schedule. This change aims to align West Virginia's primary election dates with a more standardized timeline for presidential elections, ensuring that voters have the opportunity to participate in the electoral process in a timely manner.
