Relating to permitting a citizen of this state to vote in the election of a municipality in which the citizen does not reside

HB 2381 allows West Virginia residents to vote in municipal elections of cities they don't live in, provided they meet specific conditions. To qualify, voters must either own property in the municipality for 60 consecutive days (holding at least 50% ownership), pay municipal fees during the prior year, or own 25% of a business that paid local taxes. The bill prohibits nonresidents from voting for ward-specific representatives and requires them to register with the county clerk before voter registration closes, providing documentation of eligibility. It ensures nonresidents cast only one vote per municipality and aligns with the "one person - one vote" principle. Municipalities must provide paper ballots for nonresidents at assigned precincts.
