HB 4934 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Verification of voter’s physical address by Secretary of State

HB 4934 requires West Virginia's Secretary of State to verify the physical address listed on a voter's registration record. This directly affects voters who provide their address during registration or address changes, as well as election officials responsible for maintaining registration records. The bill mandates that the Secretary of State establish a process to confirm the physical address provided by voters, or allow third parties to handle this verification. It amends existing law to add this verification step to prevent registration at incorrect addresses. The bill does not change penalties for false registration but adds a procedural requirement for address validation.
