Citizenship Voting Requirement Amendment
Plain-English Summary
A legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would specify in the West Virginia Constitution that only U.S. citizens can vote in elections in the state. State law already restricts voting to U.S. citizens; this measure would put that requirement in the constitution.
What each outcome does
If approved, only U.S. citizens may vote in any West Virginia election, as a matter of state constitutional law.
If rejected, the citizenship requirement remains a matter of state statute and federal law for federal elections.
