Bill > SB1007

This bill expands voting rights for West Virginia citizens residing overseas by allowing them to register and vote by mail in both federal and state elections if they were previously domiciled in West Virginia and intend to return, or if they are a citizen born abroad whose parent, legal guardian, or spouse was last domiciled in West Virginia, provided they hold valid proof of citizenship and are not registered to vote elsewhere. The bill also clarifies definitions for "federal election" and "state election" to ensure these expanded voting rights are applied correctly to the appropriate types of elections, and it introduces the term "overseas federal election voter" to specifically define those citizens born abroad with ties to West Virginia.
