West Virginia HB5234 mandates specific information for absentee ballots to ensure voter identity verification while protecting personal data.

West Virginia HB5234 amends absentee voting procedures to require voters to provide certain personal information, such as their name, address, date of birth, and the last four digits of their social security number, to confirm their identity. Voters without a social security number or state-issued identification must sign an attestation under oath. The bill aims to ensure election officials can verify voter identity with a high degree of confidence without exposing personal information or signatures on the outside of ballot envelopes.
