Resolution for Constitutional Officer Term Limits
HJR 20 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit terms for certain West Virginia executive officers. It prohibits elected executive officers (like Governor, Secretary of State, State Auditor, Treasurer, Attorney General, and Agriculture Commissioner) from holding other elected offices during their term. The amendment limits individuals to three consecutive terms in the specific offices listed, starting January 1, 2027, with terms before that date not counting toward the limit. This resolution requires voter approval at the 2026 general election to become part of the state constitution.
