To ensure that illegal aliens do not vote or operate a motor vehicle in the state.

HB 5423 would change West Virginia's voting and driver's license requirements to restrict undocumented immigrants. It removes certain identification documents (like out-of-state licenses) from being valid for voting, requiring instead that voters present state-issued IDs with photos or specific federal/military documents. The bill also mandates a special-colored driver's license for documented non-citizens and prohibits the state from recognizing out-of-state licenses issued to undocumented immigrants. These changes directly affect undocumented immigrants in West Virginia who currently use non-compliant IDs for voting or driving.
