  1. Citizenship Voting Requirement AmendmentConstitutional amendment

    Citizenship Required to Vote

    West Virginia already has a rule that only U.S. citizens can vote. This amendment would also carve that rule into the state Constitution, like putting a school rule in the school’s main rulebook.

    Yes vote
    Adding to the West Virginia Constitution that only U.S. citizens who are citizens of West Virginia may vote in state elections.
    No vote
    Keeping the current constitutional wording while existing state and federal laws continue to require U.S. citizenship to vote.
