AI Summary

This joint resolution calls for a joint assembly of the West Virginia Legislature to be held in the House of Delegates Hall at 1:30 PM on the day of the resolution, where the Speaker of the House of Delegates will formally open and publicly announce the election returns from the statewide election that took place on November 5, 2024. The action is consistent with Section 3, Article VII of the West Virginia Constitution, which requires the official publication of election results by legislative leadership. This procedural step is a standard practice that ensures transparency in the election process by allowing both legislative chambers to simultaneously witness the official counting and declaration of election outcomes.
