This bill aims to amend the Code of West Virginia by ensuring that the full text of proposed constitutional amendments is included on official ballots during elections where these amendments are submitted to voters. Specifically, it modifies sections 3-11-2 and 3-11-4 to require that alongside the title and summary of each proposed amendment, the complete text must also be presented on the ballot. This change is intended to provide voters with comprehensive information about the amendments they are voting on.

The bill includes specific legal language that mandates the inclusion of the full text of each proposed amendment as it appears in the joint resolution, including any stricken-through or underscored language. This requirement is designed to enhance transparency and ensure that voters are fully informed about the implications of the amendments they are considering. The bill also maintains existing procedures for the conduct of elections and the counting of ballots, ensuring consistency with current election laws.
