SJR 6 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Constitutional Officer Term Limit Amendment

SJR 6 proposes a constitutional amendment to limit terms for five West Virginia constitutional offices: Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, Commissioner of Agriculture, and Attorney General. It would prevent any person from serving more than two consecutive terms in any of these specific offices. The amendment requires voter approval at the 2026 general election and would take effect upon ratification, counting existing terms toward the two-term limit. This is a procedural constitutional change, not a direct law, and does not affect the Governor's term limits.
