Bill overview
This bill aims to enhance the security and verification process for West Virginia absentee ballots. It requires specific information, including the voter's name, address, date of birth, and social security or driver’s license number, to be included on a form inserted into the ballot envelope. This information will be used by election officials to confirm the voter’s identity without publicly disclosing their personal details. The bill also mandates that two registered voters of differing political affiliations sign the ballot envelope to further ensure accuracy and prevent fraud.
