Creating online voters' guide

HB 2919 would require West Virginia's Secretary of State to create and maintain an online voters' guide on the state election website. The guide would include all candidate information currently required in filing certificates of announcement (such as candidate names, offices sought, residence details, and party affiliation), plus allow statewide candidates to submit personal statements. This bill directly affects all candidates filing for office in West Virginia by standardizing and centralizing their publicly available information. It does not change existing filing requirements but mandates that this data be compiled into a single online resource for voters. The bill is currently in the introduction phase (filed February 24, 2025).
