Requires the Secretary of State to refer potential election fraud to the Attorney General for prosecution.
The bill amends the Code of West Virginia to require the Secretary of State to refer potential election fraud to the Attorney General for prosecution instead of a county prosecuting attorney. The Secretary of State, as the chief election official, will oversee election integrity, investigate fraud, and report violations to the appropriate prosecuting officials. This change aims to centralize the handling of election fraud cases under the Attorney General's office.
