This bill amends West Virginia's election law to allow voters who have changed their address within the county to vote in their new precinct without the need to cast a provisional ballot. The new provision specifies that during the early in-person voting period, voters must provide proof of their new address, and the change must be updated in the statewide voter registration system by the county clerk before the canvass. This change aims to streamline the voting process for individuals who have recently moved, ensuring they can participate in elections without the complications associated with provisional ballots.

Additionally, the bill makes several deletions from existing law regarding the procedures for challenged and provisional voters. It removes references to specific sections of the law that previously governed the identification requirements and challenges to voter eligibility. The overall intent of the bill is to enhance voter accessibility and reduce barriers for those who have relocated within the county, thereby promoting greater participation in the electoral process.
