Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to prohibit voters not affiliated with a major political party from voting the primary election ballot of any political party.
AI Summary
This bill amends West Virginia law to prevent voters who are not affiliated with a major political party from voting in that party's primary election ballot. Specifically, it clarifies that individuals registered as "independent," unaffiliated with any party, or belonging to parties not recognized by state law will not be allowed to vote any party's primary ballot. Instead, they will receive a separate ballot containing only nonpartisan offices and public questions, as outlined in existing law. This change aims to ensure that only registered members of a major political party can participate in that party's primary election.
