Relating to the time and place of holding primary elections

HB 2440 would change West Virginia's presidential primary election date from the third Tuesday in February (starting in 2028) to the second Tuesday in May. This affects only the presidential primary election for voters selecting candidates for President of the United States, not other primary elections for state or local offices. The bill amends existing law to move the presidential primary to align with the general election timing, as currently set for the second Tuesday in May for non-presidential primaries. The change would apply every four years for presidential elections beginning in 2028. This is a procedural adjustment to election scheduling with no direct impact on voter registration or ballot access.
