The bill amends sections of the West Virginia Code to allow voters who have changed their address within the same county to vote in their new precinct without needing to cast a provisional ballot, provided they show proof of their new address and the change is updated in the state-wide voter registration system by the county clerk before the canvass. Specifically, during the early in-person voting period, these voters can directly vote in their new precinct, streamlining the voting process and reducing the need for provisional ballots in such cases.

Additionally, the bill clarifies procedures for voters whose registration records indicate an old address but who have moved within the same precinct or to a different precinct within the county. It allows these voters to update their registration at the polling place and vote without challenge if their registration is confirmed during the canvass. The changes aim to enhance voter accessibility and ensure that individuals can participate in elections without unnecessary barriers related to address changes.
