Relating to the identification of noncitizen residents on a driver’s license.
HB 5211 requires noncitizen driver's licenses and identification cards issued in West Virginia to be stamped with "NC" (noncitizen). This amendment to §3-1-34(a)(1)(C) of West Virginia law clarifies that such "NC"-stamped IDs cannot be used as valid identification for voting. The bill directly affects noncitizen residents who hold these licenses, as the "NC" designation makes their IDs invalid for meeting voting ID requirements. It modifies existing voting procedures to prevent noncitizen IDs from being accepted as proof of identity at polling places.
