To amend the West Virginia Constitution to require single member districts for all West Virginia State Senators
HJR 7 proposes a constitutional amendment to change West Virginia's Senate district structure from multi-member districts to 34 single-member districts. This would require the Senate to be composed of 34 individual districts based on the 2020 Census data, implemented for the 2026 elections. The amendment must be approved by voters in the 2026 general election to take effect. It directly affects how West Virginia senators are elected and represents a structural change to the state's legislative representation system.
