This bill aims to amend the West Virginia Code to ensure 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 introduces new 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 inform voters more effectively about the implications of the amendments they are considering. The bill retains existing provisions regarding the conduct of elections and the responsibilities of ballot commissioners while ensuring that voters have access to the complete details of constitutional changes.
