This bill amends sections 3-11-2 and 3-11-4 of the Code of West Virginia to require that any joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment includes specific language to be presented on official ballots during elections. The new provisions mandate that the title, summary, and a description of the proposed amendment be included on the ballot, ensuring voters have clear and comprehensive information about what they are voting on. If the Legislature fails to provide this information, the Secretary of State is tasked with supplying it.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the description of each proposed amendment must be reflected on the official ballot as it appears in the joint resolution. This change aims to enhance transparency and clarity for voters regarding constitutional amendments, thereby improving the electoral process in West Virginia.
