Requiring full text of proposed Constitutional amendments be included on official ballots

SB 514 requires that the full text of proposed constitutional amendments be printed on official ballots in West Virginia elections where voters decide on such changes. Currently, ballots include a title and summary, but this bill mandates adding the complete amendment text - showing any struck-through or underlined edits - alongside the title and summary. Ballot commissioners must place this full text on the ballot or ballot label, and if the Legislature fails to include it in the proposal, the Secretary of State will supply it. This change directly affects voters by providing complete information about constitutional proposals before they cast their vote.
