Removing the Office of County Surveyor from election ballots

HB 4172 removes the elected office of County Surveyor from West Virginia election ballots following the 2026 elections. The bill repeals the statute requiring this position to appear on ballots and amends election code sections to eliminate the office entirely, noting counties no longer use elected surveyors' services. This change affects only the County Surveyor position, which has become obsolete, and will end the practice of voting for this role in future elections. The bill does not create new services or alter county surveying responsibilities, as the office is being eliminated from the electoral process.
