SB 877 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requiring resolution passed by Legislature to include language to be included on official ballots

SB 877 requires the West Virginia Legislature to include the exact title, summary, and description of proposed constitutional amendments directly in the joint resolution submitted to voters. This ensures official ballots display the Legislature's intended wording without relying on the Secretary of State to fill in missing details. The bill applies to all constitutional amendment proposals and standardizes how ballot language is prepared for voter approval. It is a procedural change affecting the drafting of resolutions, not the substance of amendments.
