Relating to permitting a citizen of this state to vote in the election of a municipality in which the citizen does not reside

HB 5023 allows West Virginia residents to vote in municipal elections for cities where they don't live, provided they live in the county containing the city and paid work-related fees (like user fees or service charges) to that city within the past year. It prohibits non-residents from voting for ward or district representatives unless they reside in that specific area, requires contacting the county clerk before registration closes, and limits voters to one vote per municipality. The bill clarifies that non-resident voting must follow the "one person, one vote" principle and prevents municipalities from blocking this process through local rules. This applies only to municipal elections, not state or federal contests.
