Requiring election officials to capture and publish ballot images

This bill requires West Virginia election officials to capture and publish digital images of ballots cast in statewide elections, along with cast vote records, to enable public verification of election results. It mandates that each printed ballot include a unique number and a designated space for voters to voluntarily mark their ballot with a personal identifier using ink, without denying acceptance of ballots based on the presence or absence of such marks. The Secretary of State must publish these records and images within 24 hours of receiving them from counties, while implementing privacy protections that prevent individual voter identification in precincts with fewer than 10 absentee or provisional ballots.
