HB 2141 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

To modify certain election laws, early voting laws, and absentee voting laws

HB 2141 modifies West Virginia's election laws to update voter registration and voting procedures. It sets specific deadlines for online registration (11:59 p.m. the day before registration closes) and mail-in applications (postmarked by registration close date), clarifies mail registration form distribution rules for county clerks and organizations, and requires first-time mail voters to provide ID (photo ID or utility bill) at the polls. The bill directly affects voters registering by mail or online, county clerks processing applications, and election officials managing voter records. Key changes include streamlining mail registration deadlines, adding verification steps for incomplete applications, and specifying ID requirements for new mail voters. These updates aim to modernize election administration while maintaining registration integrity.
