Bill > HB4164

This bill, titled the Election Integrity and People's Vote Protection Act, mandates that in West Virginia, all elections using electronic voting machines must also have poll workers manually count physical ballots at each precinct after voting closes. This manual count, using a printed audit trail from the electronic machines, will be reconciled with the electronic tally to ensure accuracy and identify any discrepancies, with the process being transparent and observed by election officials and authorized representatives. The results and all election records, including ballots and audit trails, will be securely stored and available for audits or recounts, and the Secretary of State will be responsible for training election staff on these new procedures.
