Bill overview
This bill modifies how vacancies are filled in the West Virginia state legislature and county commissions. It outlines a process for the Governor to appoint replacements for state senators and House of Delegates members when a vacancy occurs, specifying how a list of qualified candidates should be obtained from the political party. For county commissioner and clerk vacancies, the county commission will initially appoint, but if they fail to do so within a set timeframe, the party executive committee will provide a list for the commission to choose from. Special elections will be held for legislative vacancies due to removal or inability to serve, following a specific timeline and eligibility requirements.
