HB 5223 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to requiring contact information for the chair of a political committee

HB 5223 requires West Virginia political committees (those supporting candidates for state, county, or district offices) to include the full contact details - name, address, phone number, and email - of the committee chair in their initial organizational filings. This applies to all committees filing under existing election code sections, including those for state offices, county-level races, and legislative districts. The bill also adds a required acknowledgment that committees will comply with all campaign finance reporting rules. These changes update filing requirements to improve public access to committee leadership information.
