Bill Summary

The purpose of this bill is to change the definition reference of "precinct" to "polling location".

AI Summary

This bill proposes to update the terminology used in West Virginia election law by replacing the word "precinct," which refers to a geographical area for voting, with the term "polling location," which is the physical place where voters cast their ballots. This change is reflected throughout the section that defines the composition and duties of election officials, such as the "standard receiving board" responsible for overseeing voting and the "counting board" that tallies paper ballots, ensuring that these definitions now consistently refer to the physical polling location rather than the broader precinct area.
