This bill aims to amend the West Virginia Code by requiring that the full text of proposed constitutional amendments be 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 ensure that alongside the title and summary of each proposed amendment, the complete text is also presented on the ballot. This change is intended to provide voters with comprehensive information about the amendments they are voting on, enhancing transparency and informed decision-making.

The bill includes specific legal language insertions that mandate the inclusion of the full text of each proposed amendment on the ballot, reflecting any stricken-through or underscored language as it appears in the joint resolution proposing the amendment. This requirement is designed to ensure that voters have access to all relevant details regarding the amendments, thereby improving the electoral process concerning constitutional changes in West Virginia.
